    Not OP, but I run plex over Jellyfin as for me plex is just better. Has better clients, looks better, better features. Jellyfin isn’t always the answer. Maybe if someone releases a apple TV app that is better then meh, I will spin my jellyfin server backup .

      Yea, Jellyfin is far from perfect, and it’s what I use.

      It’s a bit more work than it should be, like it loves to identify stuff as Asian if it doesn’t have a perfect match, sometimes with folders properly structured with year and IMDB ID.

      I’m constantly having to fix metadata or even remove a specific movie, rescan, return the movie folder, rescan, and then it sees it right.

      I’ve had to blow away my entire Jellyfin database multiple times this year because it just loses it’s mind and won’t properly identify something.

      It’s what I use, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect, but it is an incredible value, and it doesn’t phone home or any other nonsense.

      For me I use Emby, not only because I found it first, but I can’t justify switching to Jellyfin because the UI is just too old-looking. I prefer curves
