Nobody has mentioned Emby yet. I switched from jellyfin to Emby and I am overall happier with the UX. I don't know if your specific grievance will be addressed but it's worth looking into. I wish they would add a feature to clone the metadata database (including pictures of movie covers and actors). My fear is that imdb will disallow scraping especially for people like "my friend" who has thousands of movies.
