I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

    To add to that, it is possible to use Kodi as a front-end for the plex server. This is what I do and it’s great.

    I like using plex server because for my use case it makes media management super easy and it works flawlessly, I just put all my media in movies/shows folder and it takes care of the rest automatically.

    I have set up Kodi with PlexKodiConnect (props to the creator, it’s fantastic) on a NUC clone plugged to my TV. Kodi is by far a much better player than the plex one, especially when playing 4K, so I get the best of both worlds.

    On top of that it still leaves me the possibility to use the plex player on other devices if needed.
