I mean i understand praising it, i still primarily use plex despite their Shenanigans and will VPN to bypass the remote streaming charge. I still have jellyfin installed but it has several issues for me still.
I have quite a large library and I still regularly have issues with matching especially on anime. It will either fail to match at all until I do it manually, or match incorrectly and I will have to manually correct it. I still frequently have playback issues for no apparent reason especially on Android where I will hit a file that just refuses to play back for no apparent reason with none of the error logs being particularly helpful on files that play perfectly in Plex with absolutely no issues, I have also been affected by the memory leak problem that has plagued many a jellyfin user. Where even if you’d simply turn the server on and never play any files it just randomly keeps growing in size more and more and more over time until the server hits oom even on a server with 128GB. This has been reported by so many users but the developers just seem uninterested in tracking it down. I have both friends and family that use my server and the device support is basically everything even remotely capable of media playback for Plex but is unfortunately just not as robust for jellyfin.
I know that in this particular subreddit I’m likely to just get downloaded for saying it but sometimes the open source solution just isn’t as good and this is definitely one of those cases. It’s been getting better has time goes on but it’s not a solid replacement yet for a lot of cases
