Have you used Jellyfin’s clients? I’ll be the first in line to complain about some issues with the Plex client [0] but it’s been remarkably stable over the decade+ I’ve used it. I did not enjoy the Jellyfin clients (or lack there of for some platforms) the last time I tried them (2-3 years ago).

The Plex client, for all its warts, is much more user-friendly IMHO for the friends/family that might use one’s media server.

[0] I could go on and on about things like how shitty Plex is for downloading content to your phone/iPad to take on a plane/offline.

I use Wholfin (https://github.com/damontecres/Wholphin) on my TV and it's really nice, it's meant to be familiar to users of Plex. On my phone I use Findroid (https://github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid)

Jellyfin works well enough, I switched over entirely a few months ago.

I'm relatively new to Jellyfin but for iOS and tvOS Swiftfin is a joy to use.

Edit: It's native and open source: https://github.com/jellyfin/swiftfin

Jellyfish has improved a bunch in the last few years, the front end is a lot more polished. I finally moved on from Plex a year ago after some kind of upsell nag on a basic feature after already paying for a plan.

Although realtime detection of changes on the file system is still a little flaky for me (possibly how I’m running it).
