Strange, Jellyfin doesn’t log me out that often. Maybe a configuration difference?
I’ve heard about Jellyfin’s security before but my, admittedly limited, understanding is that it’s pretty limited in what an attacker could do. Granted I host behind tailscale anyway.
As a former Plex user who is on Jellyfin now, I’d say Smart Collections and playlists. Their are tools out there you can use to try to achieve similar results, but the Plex implementation is far better.
You can essentially create a filter of any media type and then save it as a collection, as new things are added if they meet the criteria they are auto-added to the collection. So an example could be if you want documentaries to be their own collection you could create a smart collection with a filter of genre=documentary.
Some people are using their media servers way more intricately than I am hahaha. Wild to know what features are being implemented to enhance these services.
Interesting. Jellyfin doesn’t have something exactly like that afaik, but it does have genre categories. I don’t think a more robust category feature is really something I need personally though, so I don’t think I’m missing out.
What little things? I’ve been using Jellyfin for a while now with very few complaints, but maybe I don’t know what I’m missing.
Plexamp.
Actually security out of the box.
A decent iOS app (including the TV) that is free.
Plexamp.
A server that doesn’t seem to forget my logon almost every time I try using it instead of plex
Tautulli

What’s Plexamp and Tautulli?

Unless I’m missing something, Jellyfin can do playlists just fine for my liking anyway.
What are Smart Collections?
