no I have not tried it.
the jellyfin community is toxic af from my personal interactions. they're always far more concerned with trying to one-up Plex users or just attempting to be always "right".
not every member is this way, but the loudest among the community certainly makes me think the opposite.
I don't plan on using jellyfin until it's my last option.
Interesting. I’ve had nothing but positive interactions, but I visit them on Discord.
I actively avoid discord.
My bad. I meant Matrix.
Some of the users definitely like to pontificate a bit much and there's still gaps in reliable clients for some platforms (e.g. Apple TV). That said, Jellyfin, as a service, is solid.
I used to use Plex and now use jellyfin, not so much because one has features the other doesn't, but because XBMC became what they said they never would be. That's going back a ways, but I just saw the writing on the wall a few years ago that Plex had stopped caring about free users, and I was an admittedly free user.
People focus on monetary cost, but there is a price to Jellyfin, which is that you're on your own with all the plumbing. I'm OK with that, but I can see why someone wouldn't want to faf about with it.
Jellyfin will one day become what Plex is now, that's the cycle of things.
This is why I’ve used Emby for the longest time.
