    Jellyfin user here, glad I dodged the bullet when I had to pick between it and plex.

    Tl;dr you want something like plex to:

    • manage your media files for you
    • get metadata for extra features (eg. show me similar movies, select an actor from the cast and see all your media with that actor, etc)
    • track your watch progress
    • play on several devices (tv, mobile, pcs consoles)
    • transcode media to a compatible format for your client device
    • share your media library with your family
    • get notified of related media being released (new season of a show or new movie onba series)

    And the biggest one for me

    • tidy up ripped dvd/br movie collection, download missing CC or subtitles
    • create a self-hosted alternative to shitty subscription services
