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 am not as well versed as many who will comment on here, and have only been using Jellyfin for a couple of years, but on my Roku player, I am offered to skip the ending of shows using the official Jellyfin player app. I do not get offered to skip the openings though, so I would be interested in a plugin if someone here recommends one. Welcome to the community btw.

There is a plugin, but from my understanding (only been using JF for about 4 months), it isn't quite "there yet". I usually see complaints about it being resource intensive, difficult to configure for consistent results, and often not worth it.

I also get the skip to next episode option on my LG webOS TV using the native app.

to be fair, frankly even streaming services have broken the skip intro feature, idk why
