Well it’s just generally buggy firstly. Glitchy UI for me especially for hours after I started scanning my media library.
Also it has no built-in system for connecting from somewhere outside your home. You have to manage that yourself.
Then there’s the fact that it’s got lots of security issues.
What do you mean with glitching UI ? Is it more than just not responding while scanning ?
I left the scan running for an hour or so, came back and it showed, maybe all, of my shows and seasons. However, on certain views, it would not list episodes that definitely exist. The page looked kind of broken. I thought “okay I’ll give it more time”. An hour or two later, same deal. Cleared browser cache multiple times. Nothing worked. Came back the next day and it was “fixed”. But that experience felt pretty janky.
I had something similar when I used XMBC (I think it’s called kody now) and it seems it was because there was some confusion with the scrapper to imdb and it needed some manual override file. You had to create a .nfo file or something like that, that told the scrapper the right imdb number or other exact identifier for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the people at plex have some way to know of all the custom fixes people do and with that, when you have some issue recognizing some content, they can figure out what most people do.
I would be surprised if jellyfin has any way to to know what the users are doing so that wouldn’t work
