The advantages ofjellyfin are mainly its open source nature, and lack of needing to pay to unlock features such as downloads. It may be a little more effort to set up but still isn't too difficult. Once set up, it works pretty much flawlessly, except for the occasional hiccup which can be resolved pretty easily.

It has an official app available for android TV, which is in the store, and as for Tizen OS, there is an official app (on their github), however it is somewhat more difficult to install from what i've seen.

If you want to check availability, there is a list of clients at https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients/all/

yeah, i switched over to jellyfin from plex after i hit a paywall on plex. They wanted me to pay to watch my 4k mission impossible (1996) movie. Afterwards, i'm like "fuck nah," literally the reason why i torrent was to not pay for shizzle

One time payment or a subscription?

Plex offers both, but Jellyfin does everything I used plex for and is free/open source, so there really wasn't a reason not to switch.
