    Well yes you do sit and wait for Plex to log you in and for their logo. Jellyfin is up and ready to go nearly instantly.

    I think jellyfin does have the information I want, but gets out of the way and lets me get on with it. All the extra crap Plex ads like their own channels, searching outside my libraries is all just more stuff I have to turn off.

    However, I think it’s ok to say it works for you and jellyfin works for me.

    Which is about different than jellyfin needs to catch up. It’s already surpassed Plex for some.

      I’m glad you get the experience you want, but I don’t know how you can say it has “surpassed Plex, by having a 1/50th of the features.

      And if your main complaint is that you have to disable some of them, or wait a couple of seconds for a splash screen once a week/month when you have to reload the app, those don’t really seem like reasonable complaints to me.

      But, like I said, if you’re getting the experience you want, good for you. It’s just not the experience I want, or my users want.

        Lol 1/50th Features? You mean all the shit Plex adds to make it suck?

        You are really exaggerating. What exactly can Plex do that jellyfin doesn’t? Not counting the crap like thier own ad channels.

        I can think of maybe 2 and one of them is the easy remote access if you use then to login.

        Hell, jellyfin still lets you watch together, which Plex took away.

        The feature I miss the most from Plex though is photo sync. That was really handy and then they took it away.
