Posting here to plug jellyfin (and swiftfin in TestFlight) - it’s really nice to have a full FOSS option on the AppleTV/iPhone.

My issue with Plex is their unceasing dark patterns and attempts to monetize users. Forcing centralized accounts and constantly re-pinning their “value add” channels made me leave them. Also eroded my trust with them, I wouldn’t be shocked to learn that they log all the media I watch in their app…

I like Jellyfin for what it is. I actually switched from Jellyfin to Plex recently because of frequent issues with crashing transcoder (the issue may have been on my side) and inability to download content for offline use on the phone or tablet. As far as the organization itself, I liked it more than Plex.
