Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.

Plex is definitely easier to set up. I've done it multiple times over several servers. I've literally never heard of the database breaking, and I've deleted media that was actively being watched. Meanwhile, Jellyfin fails basic metadata matching on the exact same media set and also lacks built-in SSO. One of the biggest niceties of Plex is inviting people to join and they can just immediately login with Google.

I'm not saying Plex is better, and I'm not defending their recent enshittification. It's gotten worse, for sure. And I'm sure Jellyfin is great, but I haven't had time to put the effort in to fix the metadata issues or create accounts so my users can switch over.
