    Ok, so then maybe Jellyfin isn’t right for 100% of people 100% of the time and people should take the time to ask questions and figure out what software beats suits someone’s need before just yelling out their favorite program that they use that they don’t pay for because why would they, right?

      My main point was that even if Plex is the best solution, the $750 lifetime fee was enough for me to put up with some inconveniences of Jellyfin even if it wasn’t as easy.

      Not saying Jellyfin is better than Plex, but Plex has to be a lot better for the price increase to be justified.
