Doesn't even look remotely comparable IMO. It's not even a media server from the looks of it. After looking at their site and Github page I can barely even discern what it's actual function/purpose is. The only thing that is clear is that it's not a self-hosted media server.

Yeah it is LOL i had my entire emby database connected to it used it as home server 

So yes, it is SELF hosted if you want it to be.

Clackdor im not going to jump ship er nothin since emby added the large poster size for me to browse through all my movies and shows i will never stop supporting emby. I have my firestick setup as all xtra large posters i love it but would be cool having some eye candy it is 2026 not 1985 lol. I like that i can browse media and it plays live in the top right corner the movie trailers now that is fucking awesome i dont care what anyone says thats just cool.

So it's just a frontend then. The UI looks okay, but it is not a media server itself, so my point still stands that it's not directly comparable in that regard. Also just going to point out that it's still listed as in the Alpha/Beta stages of development.

These days I'm personally a lot more skeptical of new software, expecially anything I'm integrating into or allowing access to existing software I already trust, or other accounts for that matter. Too many instances of bad actors & poor coding/security posture. Huntarr was a perfect example of why it's good to be skeptical. Everyone else seemed to think it was cool until it was discovered to be leaking API keys.

LOL, cool. Emby can send a payload to your server and turn your puter into a hamburger. We all trust emby yes I could come on here and long as emby is running on the vpn ip they can find me and payload my ass do what they want just sayen. I trust emby i dont give a shit, plex sells your data and so does jellyfin, why do you think its free they sell all your data your ips your watch history everything. Why do you think its free ?  Jellyfin sells ALL your data. Why do you think its free???? kek

Lets just let the cat out the bag now, Jellyfin SELLS all your data they sell your watch history your ip info your location everything. Wake up shake your head jellyfin makes more money than emby does selling cheap monthly subscriptions for $5 shake your head. Jellyfin sells your watch history and makes loads of cash just sayen.

After this response I'm done with this thread, but all I have to say on these replies is as follows:

Yeah Emby could send a malicious update, any software dev can, hence why it's not a great idea to just blindly trust or try every single GitHub project that looks even remotely interesting without doing some level of verification or testing in a controlled environment.

As for Plex, it's obvious that they sell user data, everyone knows this. Emby and Jellyfin's entire existence depends on the fact that they don't do the same shady things as Plex. This circles back to security around using third party plugins/clients with either Emby or Jellyfin. Installing or using anything that's not officially published by the first-party developer opens you up to the possibility that the third party developer has malicious intentions.

And honestly I'm kind of laughing out loud right now about the notion that Jellyfin is making exorbitant amounts of money from selling user data. If that were the case then they would actually have money to pay developers and have a decent client app ecosystem rather than relying on third parties to make the next vibe-coded android app that is just soooo much better than the 50 others that came before it.
