They have a sorta proprietary metadata service that is presumably based on imdb, thetvdb, etc. but they also handle detection and collection of metadata regardless of where the information ultimately comes from. It’s nothing that Jellyfin doesn’t do though.
I’m sticking with Plex since I have the lifetime pass too, but the writing’s on the wall, I’m ready to switch to Jellyfin whenever Plex dies or ruins itself
Exactly my sentiment too. I already paid for it, may as well use it until they make some move that makes the jump to Jellyfin worth it. Not to mention Jellyfin is still fresh on the scene and I personally think it still needs a few more years to make a more seamless changeover from Plex for me and everyone else I’ve granted access to.

That’s where I’m at. Ride my <$80 lifetime license till the wheels fall off and see where jellyfin is at that point.
