I keep my media organized well organized in a folder structure. I either watch it from my PC, or my TV (with Kodi). I don't want it organized for me. I don't want to "search" for the show/movie that I want to watch. I don't like seeing the movie poster where I might only be able to fit 12 items on the screen at once, I want to be able to see 50+ items in a directory list. I don't like/want all the Database back-end stuff that gets done in plex/jellyfin (IMDB lookups, rotten tomatoes reviews, etc.) I use Jellyfin for my kids shows. I use Kodi for my TV. And the thing I despise the most, I dont' want to rename/restructure/reorganize 100TB of media just so JellyFin can auto-guess incorrectly the movie/tv show/season/episode. All of the kids crap? Dumped into a single folder and Jellyfin guessed most of it. The stuff it got wrong, I don't care about. My stuff, that's been carefully curated over years? Even if I just feed jellyFin the content 1 directory at a time, it can't get seasons/episodes straight. I don't watch my media when I'm away from home. I don't share my media.

It sounds like Jellyfin is not for you. However: > I don't like seeing the movie poster where I might only be able to fit 12 items on the screen at once, I want to be able to see 50+ items in a directory list. Been a while since I used Jellyfin, but you can set Plex to show it in list view. I would be surprised if Jellyfin didn't have that capability.

I only have to curate maybe 1/200 shows or movies. Radarr/Sonarr do that for me, and very well. Filebot works out that 1/200 for me, I just have a folder I dump to, and a containerised version sees it and fixes it. I spent many hours previously curating, but as a human it's very inefficient when IMDB, TheTVDB, etc all have the info you need and can almost always get it right.
