Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

Been using Plex for years as bought the Plex lifetime deal when it was on offer many many moons ago. Is jellyfin any better? (My biggest concern with Plex is that they have a list of all my content I believe so not happy about that).

Should add use a nvidia shield with an external hard drive with all the content on it and stream to other android devices (fire sticks).

Jellyfin is not as good as basic Plex.

It’s better since it supports hardware transcoding and seperate user profiles including age ratings.

With the lifetime pass I’d say Plex is better, but without it there’s too many missing features.

I chose jellyfin because it was opensource, looked better imho and was free.

I’d say stick to whatever works the best, plex with lifetime is a solid option that does it all.
