Plex currently has BF pricing that includes their lifetime membership ($210 CAD).

Anybody here using plex premium who's familiar with the current state of jellyfin and can offer an opinion on what plex offers that jellyfin doesn't?

Last time I looked, I was actually turned off a bit by plex because they appeared to be moving towards pushing their extra streaming content.
 
Try free plex first to see if you like it IMO.

You can turn all that other crap.

If you don't need intro auto skipping or sharing library with other people not in your home, you don't need premium.

Yeah I feel like I've seen some posts lately of them changing the way things work, pushing more towards the cloud and requiring subscriptions.

Jellyfin is likely the better choice for mostly local usage these days.
 
I didn't try plex but JF mostly did what it promises for me without much headache beyond what was my own fault (LXC GPU passthroughs on proxmox). The free aspect being what I wanted for local only use.

Yeah, I personally haven't had any real issues with jellyfin which sound like they'd be resolved with Plex. My only real complaint are hardware related (DV and HDR conflict, and some audio format issues) but from what I can tell Plex has exactly the same issues since they're related to the hardware I'm running the app on.

The only thing I'd really like would be some kind of windows media center style control so that I could run a windows mini-pc with the windows app (better control, and I believe more codec support) but have the streaming stick remote functionality.

I have tried plex but didn't really see that it was doing anything for me that jellyfin wasn't.

Mostly just wondering if there's something game changing that I'm missing.
