CordCutters is a place for those who have cut the Cable or Satellite TV cord, and want to know what other legal services are available. No piracy talk please, it could get the person posting it in trouble with the authorities and could get the community banned on some servers, so please only talk about products and services that are legal to use.

Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I'm interested in:

Automatic file management is a plus
Multiple users on mobile devices
Roku apps

I hate Plex. It's gotten too bloated.

I run Emby primarily, but not externally accessible [vpn]. It works really well for me, haven't had any issues.

I use Jellyfin to put some stuff for the toddlers. It works on Amazon Fire Kids, while Emby doesn't. It works ok, but it's definitely less polished than Emby, and I feel like it's not as stable. Could just be me though.
