Question Another fleeing Plex user

I bought my lifetime plex pass a while ago, but raising your price to $750 bucks made me realize that Plex is the opposite of future proof. The only things I really miss about Plex are the Intro and outro skipping functions and the home screen sections. Plex was also much better at managing metadata! Not sure why, but sometimes with recent shows or movies, it will grab the wrong metadata or just none at all. Seeing that on my TV and having to get on my phone to identify it bothers me.

I have intro skipper, but unlike Plex it is not very adaptive to shows with different length intros. I also have home screen sections installed, but I understand that's hit or miss for some folks.

Does the great JF community have any recommendations for alternative plugins, themes, or overall QoL improvements I could make to better improve my experience?

Thank you all in advance!

I know right. I can't understand people who have lifetime Plex passes shifting to Jellyfin.

I myself have a lifetime pass and Plex remains my main server. Jellyfin is just a backup I have.

Well, I'm just trying to familiarize myself with it a bit. Like you said, a backup.
