I havent had any issues with Plex so far, so I continue to use it. Ive definitely looked into jellyfin and it doesnt seem painful to swap over, but at the moment there hasnt been a compelling reason to make the switch.
I put media in my folder, plex scans it by the time I sit on my couch, I click button, show plays. No issues to speak of so far.
While Plex has moved towards the “free” content, it still does remarkably well with apps on all devices. It also makes user management extremely easy without having to manage yourself. Password resets aren’t your problem if you share with others.
It has its limitations and it’s development budget isn’t in the self hosting space as much. But for what it is, it’s still a good value.
You should check out Jellyfin
Plex is getting shittier by the minute, and this is a good alternative.

I generally have issues with subtitles. Sometimes they don’t work out are out of sync, etc.
Try different subtitle files, usually if the first one is off, the second or third will sync up properly
Ah interesting, I havent had such an issue yet, or at least not to a degree I notice it egregiously.

Have been using Plex for years, thought I’d give Jellyfin a shot but my god how ugly it was 😩
I prefer how Jellyfin’s UI, but you can also use a third party client IIRC
