Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

I ran Jellyfin and plex for a while, using Jellyfin instead of plex at every oppurtunity. Then Jellyfin broke, I couldn't figure out how to fix it in an evening, and I just went back to using Plex, which had continued working. It isn't great, sure, but it's fine. I think Jellyfin would need to be Immich levels of cool, or plex would actually need to be unusable for me to switch.

I'm in the same boat, I have a Plex pass, I have my reverse proxy setup, Plex just works (TM) and when it stops, Jellyfin is already installed and ready to go.
