Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

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:
I like Emby too, personally.
Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that's been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.
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.
