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?

    Last time I had an outage, I was still watching from my roku and in the browser.

    Trick is, it’s 4000% easier to set up when you’re on the internet.

    You can insert some xml in places if you’re offline, but if you’re offline, knowing the places is incredibly difficult.
