I have both and run them side by side through Docker in UNRaid, but Jellyfin hardly ever gets used unless there is a problem with Plex and I don't feel like fixing it immediately. I've had the Plex lifetime pass for forever.
I have young kids and really like Plex's system for moderating content for their accounts. I've never explored this on Jellyfin though. As a person with crappy laptop speakers, subtitles are important to me. Plex does subtitles better than Jellyfin in my experience.
From my admin panel (showing the user child protection):
Idk where the age metadata for movies ia pulled from but I guess it's either TMDB/TVDB or some other metadata source I added.
Seems to work though (I have not added it)
The age rating can be written over and locked so a refresh can not reset it.
As for subtitles (don't quote me though):
SRT on the AndroidTV app is basically instant (just direct play)
PGS can (afaik) usually also played directly
VobSub needs to be burned in/transcoded
ASS/SSA is in a phase to be implemented so it doesnt result in transcoding.
But usually encoders/remuxers include SRT or PGS subs anyway.
My only complaint is the native iPad-app which needs a minute to stream SRT subs for whatever reason (using the web-ui). The mobile Android app, the AndroidTV and regular web ui basically work instantly so idk /shrug
For the price of people’s, you could just get better speakers.
Hell you can probably get a framework for what plex will cost next year.
Ha! I have a Framework 13 from their first run. It's my only real gripe with it. Downward firing speakers are dumb on a laptop.
