Yeah jellyfin is great, it has its own quirks and is not quite as good as plex with stuff like metadata.

But i have setup as portable installation meaning i can just copy it to any computer and run it and have the instance running.

If I were running like a media server for friends/family, I would use plex just because it has a better/more intuitive gui, i guess they figure in that situation people will just fork out the money.

But if im just gonna run my own server so i can play shows and track them netflix style then yeah jellyfin the best.

I also wish I had invested in some more hard drives to store media on before fucking prices skyrocketed.
