I poked at Jelly a bit ago, but as I recall the auto organize was abandoned (kinda a big deal to me) and something about conversions being a problem. Basically I just didn’t see anything that would make me inclined to go through the hassle of reworking what already works.
I went with Plex for probably ten years after breaking with Emby. I ended things with them because they don’t care about their customers at all. Bugs that break the experience completely that lie untouched/unnoticed/ignored for years, and no replies from the developers. Or even developers that just stop replying to these bugs.
Switched to Jellyfin this year and it works like a charm. Only thing is it isn’t as good at noticing duplicates in my library, but other than that, works just fine. Definitely above acceptable.
Any reason it wouldn’t work with Emby too? Have had it since before there was a Jellyfin spun off so I’ve just rolled with it.
If Emby happens to have the same API surface as Jellyfin, you could use that. I doubt that works, I have not tried it.
Surprised people still stick with Emby.

Lots of things work better, so I am not.

I do a lot of remote sharing with friends and unfortunately it’s not great for that.
Also the last time I checked it out the clients kinda sucked. Not even one for Apple TV
Swiftfin or infuse for AppleTV
Huh? I watch my Jellyfin on AppleTV just fine.
Maybe there was one added since I last checked, or I’m just dumb. Good chance of the latter.
Edit: oh, 3rd-party clients? I had tried one but they wanted a fucking subscription fee
Nope. No subscription fee. Just the regular Jellyfin client. I run the server from my PC and watch on the client in my TV. All free.
