Jellyfin's an awesome open source home media server. I'll show you how I use it to organize my movies and TV shows.Part 1 (how I rip media to my computer) he...
I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.
Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.
True, only shitty thing i did was buying lifetime and using it for only two years until i finally dumped it, it corrupted the database 3 times and it isn’t able to be repaired with any tool i’ve found.
Recreating and rescanning for intro-outro detection literally took a day each time, fuck this.
There are so many databases hosted on that machine that i can eliminate hardware fault at that point.
Running Jellyfin has been a really flawless for over a year and intro-outro dectection + auto-skip is also available there, i’m only missing the advertisements of Plex, not in a good way though
That face shows struggle and waste of time. At least use Plex to valorare your time

Plex which completely destroys it’s database all the time?
Look up the repair tools, it’s common.
Jellyfin has been rock solid.
Running Jellyfin is a breeze walk in the cake park.
I switched from Plex years ago and never looked back.

It’s been more than 10 years using it never had an issue nor had I waste time configuring anything.
