Friendly reminder that PLEX is a great, free service, you just have to put in the effort to build up a media collection. High capacity HDDs are very cheap now, so storing a large media collection isn't particularly expensive.

They also offer a lifetime "Plex pass" which adds some neat, but non-essential features, like auto-skipping intros and credits sequences for instance. It's not necessary, but it's a nice way to show support for what they do.

    Does Jellyfin have the credit and intro skips? Also how does it handle music?

    I remember having some issue with plex, finding out it was a known issue and had been logged on their issue tracker for YEARS with no progress. They're one of those companies who prioritise shiny new features over actually maintaining the existing ones.
