Once I saw Plex required an account even to self-host, it was a no-go for me. Stuff like this is why. (among other reasons, like "why should I go through a 3rd party for something I'm 100% hosting on my own hardware/network")

I've been very happy with Jellyfin FWIW :)

I switched to Jellyfin last year and never looked back. The only thing I find lacking is the Apple TV App, I tried Swiftfin but it stutters the whole time when playing high quality UHD content. I tried Infuse and it works much better

Have you tried Infuse?

The big selling point of Plex vs jellyfin is that their app is in all of the major stores.Samsung smart TVs for example
