I left Plex for Jellyfin + Infuse a couple of years ago, and I'm not looking back.
But the sore point right now is outside access, which Jellyfin really isn't made for. I set up Tailscale so I can connect Infuse to Jellyfin remotely. But that's not exactly as smooth as Plex. I can't give friends and family access, either, which was dead easy with Plex.
In terms of the UX, Infuse isn't very good, but it does the job okay. The built-in subtitle fetcher is amazing; that stuff never worked for me with Plex.
For people that don’t know, Infuse lets you use Jellyfin on Apple TV and it’s very helpful for day purpose
There is also an open source tvOS client called Swiftfin. The experience isn't as good though.
You can also transcode your files to formats that the free version of Infuse supports if you are a miser.
Crazy expensive though. It's basically a Plex subscription, just for the player.
Isn’t it something like $10/yr or something?

... and is awesome even without Jellyfin - I have it installed on all devices including Apple TV, connected to family NAS through webdav.
I use port forwarding on my home router to open up jellyfin to outside access. it's not as pretty, but it works.

tailscale + cloudflare for lets encrypt support. can then give family tailscale access
Has cloudfare become any more strict with passing large amounts of video data through them? I heard they were kind of against it, but haven't enforced anything.
One does not need cloudflare for letsencrypt. The tooling has become really simple to use.
