    Plex has better security, federates and shares with other plex servers and generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

    But, I don’t use it. I like Jellyfin. It’s free and while it may lack a few features, it isn’t worse by any measure.

      generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

      Yeah, I’m not gonna give you that one. It’s a single option that you toggle. Wanna use your nvidia GPU? Enable NVENC. AMD gpu/cpu? AMF. Intel CPU? QSV.

      Really not that hard…

      Regarding security, it’d be interesting to see how secure it actually is. Yeah, the individual endpoints might be protected better, but is Plex the company maybe a single point of failure?
