Just under one year ago, I made a post asking "Do you run Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin" link and it gained a lot of traction. So I decided I was gonna post a similar post again but one year later (with the addition of kodi because why not). This time I'm adding a poll. I am curious as time goes on if people are switching towards one service or another.

As stated in the original post, I have tried emby, plex, and jellyfin. My full opinion today is that Plex is the best for me using my own server. BUT, I think emby is MUCH better for giving out to people. I find when giving the server to people they tend to like for me to "set it up" for them and not have to create a full account and all. Jellyfin would be my third option as of right now as it feels like a less-refined emby in my experience. (Although emby please please please add a watch-together feature PLEASE!)

Let everyone know in the comments what you use and why!
