I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.
It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.
What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?
EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into “smaller” instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can’t remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.
Seconded. I tried Plex, Emby and Jellyfin and found Emby was the sweetshop between GUI niceness and not swamped with shit features I don’t want or need. Jellyfish while being great and free, does not have the same UI polish as Emby, so I stumped up for a lifetime sub.
