Jellyfin us easy to run, but then when you are running it it just doesn't have your files. Are they in the incorrect folder structure? Who knows

I literally just run Kodi and it just works, I can browse my folders and watch stuff

I use sonarr and radarr, they automatically structure the folder system, and you can also have the same issues with Plex. I had an issue where Plex would not, no matter what, detect the newest episode of a show and Jellyfin picked it up no problem

this was the dealbreaker for me. the demand for specific file and directory naming schemes with no default indexer seems deranged.
