Jellyfin has been very slow for me and buggy especially when it comes to UI and if you try anything fancy like the sync play stuff. I tried it again not long ago and it just pales in comparison. Don’t get me wrong as a free offering it’s fantastic but I paid for a lifetime sub for Plex years ago, this just works.
It used to be you had to research a lot to get a good pc but nowadays it’s kinda hard to go wrong so the argument that you don’t have to look up stuff with a console and you are ready to play is also making getting a console slightly less attractive.
People still do all that, go to a festival and you’ll see plenty of that, it’s just downtime between social events is filled in by phones
Yea man sure, apples to apples ran it on the same hardware as Plex, yet Plex doesn’t have any issues with playback or slowness.
