Emby is a good option if you don't want to hop to jellyfin. I have been pleased with it so far. I found the media tag/idenifier to work better/quicker than plex's.

My aim is to get my friends and family to stop paying for streaming services and if I have to pay for Plex to achieve this then that’s a win.

Jellyfin is nowhere near as feature complete as Plex and not by a long shot. My users don’t like the UI of Jellyfin and setting up for remote access is no trivial feat. With this in mind and my goals Plex is better suited.

So far have 8 users all saving £10-40 a month not going to streaming services.

Hello Jellyfin.

Is that really the message you got? It's worded differently than what I see in mine.

I would probably still want to use Plex due to its superior interface, despite this shit they are pulling. But Plex on my TV is so UNBELIEVABLY slow. I have a large library, like almost 14 TB and still growing. But there's no reason it should take almost a minute (or more than?) for the first content to show after starting the app.

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards. It's inexcusable how poorly optimized Plex is.

Just deleted my account.

Hey, you reading this? You should too.
