Can you perhaps detail some of the issues you encountered for those of us who might be considering a change?

  The last one I tried was Emby, sometimes during the pandemic, and it just flat-out didn't come up with a number of movies that matched the number of movie files in the directly I pointed it at. It also seemed to mis-match or fail to match many of them. Admittedly, I have a decent percentage of foreign-language movies, mostly in filenames with their English-translated titles, but Emby would often pick an English-language movie that did not match the filename exactly, while ignoring a Korean (for example) movie that did. IIRC, it was even worse when it came to TV. Fortunately, I was running it side-by-side with Plex, so after about a week of trying to get it to recognize my entire collection, I just gave up and deleted it. Your mileage may vary.

    Detection in Emby works but is... odd. I have Premiere. There's still definitely a "right way" to organize your library, but detection and settings have massively improved over the past year (I'm on 4.8.0.13). Probably 15% of my library has had to be manually identified, and 70% is non-English. Prioritizing the metadata sources helps a lot. Definitely a labor of love.
