And I totally get your perspective on that. Mine is a bit different from a 'thinking backward from who will be using it' perspective. My family wants something that is as easy to use for viewing our movie collection that I have digitized as Netflix.. Jellyfin simply did not deliver that as well as Plex did. And for what I paid for Lifetime use the license has more than paid for itself.
But I certainly wouldn't just dismiss JellyFin, Emby or others out of hand. That would be obtuse.. definitely need to keep an open mind - if I didn't I wouldn't be on Nostr.. 🍻
