Hey. I'm rather experienced in selfhosting, but very new on this sub.
For what I can see, Jellyfin is praised here, directly opposite to Plex. I'm using Plex for almost 10 years, I have lifetime Pass subscription, but maybe it's time to move on?
What will Jellyfin give me, what Plex doesn't? Why is it considered better here? The main advantage, of course, would be the fact it is FOSS, but I'm asking more for the technical aspects for end-user.
Bonus question: is the webos app any good? My main device used for Plex is LG TV and I want a native app, not the built in browser.
I know, there are tons of articles out there comparing these too, but I'm looking more for real life experience, not raw data, specs and numbers. Thanks in advance!
Edit: just to be clear, I use my Plex only for movies and tv shows. I don't care about music, DVR, 'live tv' etc.
