I ultimately want to ditch Plex, but as an existing lifetime member, it currently handles everything so smoothly for my users that I don’t see enough benefits in switching. Particularly on the music streaming side (PlexAmp), I think the experience is the most polished one I’ve seen.

My hope is that by the time the lifetime Plex Pass experience has become enshittified, Jellyfin will be more ready than it is today, and I’ll make a switch then.

So far the enshittification has not hit lifetime Plex pass subscribers

Radarr does the same thing for movies.

You manage them both with a web interface. Installing and setting them up requires technical steps, but there are guides.
