Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn’t provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

    I’ve never used Plex. What are some of the features that you’re missing in Jellyfin? Genuinely curious.

      Plex4kodi there is a jellyfin like one but it is not even close.

      Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.

      Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:

      • Smart collections & playlists
      • Skip intros and credits
      • Overall slick UI

        Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that’s been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.

        • I don’t know what smart collections are, but I do get automatic collections for franchises (like all “28 x later”) via a plugin. I don’t have playlists, but I guess I never felt the need for one… What would you use them for, binge watching franchises?
        • skip intro and credits is a thing, built in since a few versions (used to be a plugin)
        • the UI is subjective, and I don’t know any other one… I personally like how it looks, I customized quite a bit, easy to do via CSS.
