Lmao, JF is not better than Plex.
Hard disagree.Plex inserts itself I to everything, and dear god is it slow by comparison.
Well, it's free, and it's private. Everything else about it is serviceable
Good. Plex on Android is hot garbage
finally is all I can say
Thanks for sharing - it’s obviously not filled with all the features yet, like no Picture in Picture, but I like it.
Well, Jellyfin is right over there, and it's FOSS too. Consider switching, it's pretty great.
The quality and features of JellyFin are nowhere close to Plex. I have used both for years.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to switch but the user experience of Jellyfin is still pretty bad outside the most basic cases. If you have a media center PC, it's fine, but if you want to be able to switch between several devices the way you can with Netflix, it's quite poor.
Plex is slowly trending down and Jellyfin is slowly trending up. I hope Jellyfin outpaces Plex before the enshittification is complete, but it's a steep hill to climb.
How does it not work for you? I use it on my phone, laptop, ipad, kodi, ... without issues

I used plex for years and years with my lifetime license, but a few years ago I felt Plex was way too bloated and swapped to Jellyfin. I don't think about Plex now unless an article mentions it. There's no feature of functionality I notice that's missing, and I have a low tolerance for dealing with troubleshooting when I want to relax.

There are some punctuation errors in your title. It should read:
Plex is "overhauling" its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood "upgrades"
Those who use Plex to access personal media will find that their libraries are in a ~~dedicated~~ [hidden] tab, while the Watchlist will take up prime real estate in the top navigation section. Plex says it also streamlined the user menu for quick access to things like your profile, friends and watch history.
So they're hiding the entire point of Plex deep in the menu and promoting things that make them money. Enshittification.
At best this is a new layer of paint to add a new hidden layer of shit
