You are imagining how to use a computer filled with video files.
Now imagine having your own personal netflix available on a variety of devices, using just that one computer full of video files.
I don’t have the addiction or condition that makes that compelling to me.
I can’t figure out why or how that is a need people have.
Well, I can tell you how Jellyfin differs from a directory full of files, but I can’t help you with understanding that other people have different preferences and desires than you which are neither “conditions” nor “addictions.”
You’ll have to make it to that one on your own.
