First launched during the height of Covid, Plex’s Watch Together feature won’t make the cut for the streamer’s revamped mobile and TV apps.

Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.

If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.

Jellyfin has had sync play for a long time

Ada is a Jellyfin user? We’re in good hands.

Jellyfin has this, but it’s kinda busted: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-syncplay. There was one guy working on it and he apparently vanished. It still does work for some use-cases but be prepared for some rough edges.

Maybe someone will pick up the torch now that Plex is axing it?

Id love to have the federated libraries in jellyfin. That would be amazing.
