It lets you stream your personal media library (films, TV shows, music, photos) to any device through a browser or app.</p> <p>Compared to Plex, Jellyfin is fully free with no premium tier. Transcoding, sync, and apps are all free. There&rsquo;s no phoning home to Plex servers — all metadata and authentication is local.</p>
