I tried Kodi, Plex and a couple of other media server software. Each one had major issues, from simply not playing all videos and not recognizing many TV shows, to requiring specific and difficult folder arrangements for shows to appear in the listings at all. I tried Jellyfin out of frustration. Amazingly, it worked perfectly the first time out. I just drop videos into a folder, and the system downloads pics of the show and all metadata immediately; it even finds clips of even the most arcane movies to preview. The remote on my phone works perfectly as well. All told, I think Jellyfin is far and away the best free (or paid) media server out there. Its ease of installation (virtually none) and good looking interface makes it a no-brainer choice for a media server. Kudos to the developers, keep up the great work!

I find it to be more reliable than Plex in 2025. There was a time that Jellyfin server didn't just work in many ways, there was also a time the Android app didn't really work at all. But now it's Plex giving me nothing but playback and performance issues, meanwhile Jellyfin just works. If they add in quick sliding for brightness and volume, as well as a way to skip or go back 10 seconds, this app becomes perfect.

Love Jellyfin! I moved away from Plex and the only thing holding it back is if you're casting, and turn subtitles on or off it'll end the video. There is also a bug where the player controlls will stay on the screen and the only way to fix it is restart the video. Edit: it cast great to the desktop MVP client. Casting directly to a tv is where my issues rise, but it's might just be an issue on my end.
