4 reasons Plex is pushing me further and further towards Jellyfin

Ages ago, Plex was one of the only applications that let you deploy a self-hosted media server for your ripped TV shows and movies.

Like every other home labber I know, a Plex server satisfied my streaming needs for a long time. But over the last couple of years, Plex has gone down the corporate rabbit hole, and the current version of the application has spiraled into a nightmare for FOSS lovers like myself.

Meanwhile, several competitors have stepped up to claim the throne of media consumption and cataloging utilities. After trying out Jellyfin, it has become my go-to tool for managing my purchased media, and I plan to spend the weekend migrating my movies, TV shows, and music files from Plex to Jellyfin.
