Bingo. People can be so tribal about this shit. If you value privacy and hate subscriptions, jellyfin is you homie. It isn’t as hard to set up as some would have you believe (i’m a normie and have used it for years).
If you don’t give a fuck about privacy and don’t mind paying some creep to make it easy for you to access your own files, then Plex is fine. This is the camp some people are in, and it’s just as legitimate as mine. Life is about gray areas and compromise.
one of the learning curves on jellyfin is naming conventions. you have to read the documentation on it. if you don’t have the file named appropriately respective of the type of media, Jellyfin won’t know how to categorize it. I use renamer a lot for bulk renaming, and you can often rearrange the info in the file name pretty easily once you get a handle on how renamer works.
