Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.
The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn’t provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.
Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.
Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:
Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that’s been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.
I like Emby too, personally.
Skip intros and credits is available on Jellyfin.
I think the Plex UI is still better than Jellyfin, but I’ve gotten used to it.
Never used the smart collections when I was on plex, so can’t speak to that.
