not sure of a distinct advantage one over the other
jellyfin for kodi syncs the kodi database with the jellyfin database then kodi uses it's internal mechanisms for library displays
jellycon does not use any database and uses it's own programmed paths to show the library; some library views may not be available because of this
afaik or afaict they play content exactly the same
i've been using jellyfin for kodi for a while now, i like the native library part mostly but recently ive been investigating jellycon and modifying the kodi skin to use the paths from jellycon instead of the kodi library for home widgets
i kind of like jellycon as it feels snappier without waiting for a sync and library update on the kodi side
the developer did just say they prefer jellycon
i think it comes down to preference here
