I keep trying, I have an extremely large collection and it keeps falling flat on metadata matching. Especially with anime, yes I have installed the add-ons. They still suck. And for whatever reason it’s transcoding performance is nowhere near as good. It also still has an unresolved memory leak issue with a ticket that’s been open for a long long time about it. I want to replace Plex but it needs to be with something as good as Plex
I had a lot of trouble jellyfin and anime until I started putting things into season folders, even if they only had one season. So if I had Ano Hana I’d put the episodes in a folder like this
MediaDisk/Anime/AnoHana/Season 1/episodes_here
If it’s a movie, then it goes into a folder with other movies.
Media Disk/Anime Movies/movies_here
Once I started doing that, Jellyfin automatically recognized most Anime.
I already do this, everything in my media is extremely cleanly named because they are handled by sonarr
series name/season 00/EPSxxExx-“episode title”
so it’s not a file format issue. It gets a lot of them but there are certain things especially if they are recently aired or currently airing where it will simply fail to find a match until I give it the Japanese name at which point it manages to find the metadata for the English name. Really stupid stuff like that
Emby is the premium version of Jellyfin. I have found the meta information works a lot better. I haven’t done much transcoding but it does support it, and there are more apps to access it. Not too happy with the iOS app but the LG WebOS app works great.
All of you folks using Plex should check out Jellyfin, it may suit your needs better.
Jellyfin is better for in home streaming, but I find plex easier for sharing external to family/friends.
In what way tho?
Is jellyfin only usable with computers or is there a way to use it with smart tvs/consoles?
It has a few clients available for different devices, I’m using the Android TV client for example in my Philips Smart TV
I’m just happy with all the pirate sites today. Works fine for me. I’m about to cancel everything.

I use jellyfin a lot for anime, no plugins. I just label all my folders like
kaguya_sama_[tmdbid-12345].As long as the The Movie DB id is there, aboslutely no problems indexing.
