Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I’ve used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it’s very useful for sharing content I don’t want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn’t have the polish that Plex has. There’s definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.
Jellyfin is also not an option if you want a secure way to share content with your family/friends without forcing them to install a VPN on each and every client they want to use.
I could open the Plex port in my router and put it behind a reverse proxy, since the Plex frontend is actually secured unlike Jellyfin
I didn’t have to pay for Jellyfin, I think you got scammed.
