I honestly gave jellyfin a try but it didn't work for me for several reasons. The server wouldn't find some shows or movies no matter what I did, and I had countless issues with subtitles.
I'd recommend giving jellyfin a try because it's a worthy project, but it's not even a competition, Plex is hands down much more user friendly, if you can excuse the fact that it's closed source.
Now for findability I can't recommend Kagi enough. You can find virtually anything there, no filters and no bullshit results.
- alabastervlog 1y agoYou do have to follow the naming scheme, though 95% of the time I don’t need to touch the names of tv show episodes, just stick them in the correct folders. The exceptions are mostly anime and shows I could only find on internet archive, as, for some reason, those often come with just the episode number in the name, not the full “s01e14” that basically everyone else uses. I rename my movies but that takes maybe ten seconds per one I add, tops, and the result is easier to read when managing files later than leaving them as “www.torrenting.com The.Matix.ita.eng.1999[rarbg]” or whatever insane file names they usually come with.

- chneu 1y agoI've been running a Plex/jellyfin server for years and never had to rename any files. Don't do that. Match them in Jellyfin and leave the original filenames intact.
- alabastervlog 1y agoIf you rename them, you can re-create the whole library with auto scan, which is nice. Do you mean you let it auto-scan the wrong id, go find that wrong movie in your library, then manually provide an e.g. IMDb id, for every one?
