Thanks! I'll look into this. I had jellyfin installed but I always used Plex just due to a better experience on my Apple TV. The Jellyfin client can barely get subtitles right so I stopped using it
At the end of the day it's always a trade-off. If you're willing to give up some control and privacy Plex is going to be a very smooth experience. If you don't like to give up privacy but still want a smoother experience and are willing to pay, Emby is probably best for you. If you don't want to make any privacy compromises and want a free, community-supported and fully open-source solution, you have to use Jellyfin.
Don't forget to check out Kodi on that list. It's not a media server, it's an indexer that runs on the client + a friendly interface. It can be a very nice solution if you mainly access your media on a single device, like a living room TV attached to your NAS.
