What happened with Emby? I've used their service for a long time and have been very happy with their lifetime premium.
It used to be an open source project, then at some point the developers moved it to closed source. In reaction to this, a couple of people forked the last open source version of emby and launched it as an open source project (again) named jellyfin.
It is still open source and under active development, and has a significant userbase. Especially on Lemmy I think it's much preferred by people to emby (or at least more vocally supported).
Jellyfin is superior.
Okay..... one is closed sourced and the other open. That much I know. With those points out of the way, why is jellyfish superior?
Also been happy with emby, but am also curious about jellyfin
Exactly. I moved to Jellyfin because Emby introduced the life time support thing
