I had similar questions after seeing the release info and doing a quick scan.
I came to the HN Comments here and the first thing I see is someone asking exactly what I was wondering, followed by this:
> If "alongside Plex, Jellyfin" would be an intended use-case then I would've involved those names in the README or website.
I appreciate that this is an open source project you've likely put hundreds or thousands of hours of work into. You're under no obligation to be 'nice' or polite to people.
But the perceived tone of this reply doesn't leave a positive impression.
I see others have also left similarly... negative? sarcastic? replies to other questions about it.
While it may be obvious to you, and other dedicated users - seeing that it's a "frontend" to a media collection doesn't really clarify it.
Information that you can and it doesn't interfere would be useful information.
Having an alternative to Tautili and/or getting more information on my media sounds nice. But I have the media so I can watch it, and if it interferes with that then I am not personally interested.
