plex or Jellyfin? (lemmy.world)

I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

Set "Burn Subtitles" to AUTO and grab the Open Subtitles plugin and make sure you are logged in. Beware opensubtitles.com and opensubtitles.org are different logins.

I'd say about 95% of what I'm playing is playing without transcoding to my LG CX Oled with Jellyfin app on it.

I don't know enough about the triggers for transcoding to know why I'm getting this result, but my server has an obscene GPU in it. I'm not sure if this is a factor.
