4 reasons Plex is pushing me further and further towards Jellyfin

Plex has shifted toward corporate development, reducing support for self-hosted media server features. The current version of Plex lacks core functionality once available in older releases. Users report degraded performance and reduced flexibility in home lab environments. This shift has increased adoption of Jellyfin as a FOSS alternative. The change reflects a move away from open-source priorities. Users now face higher friction using Plex for personal media servers.
