How does Jellyfin compare to Stremio? The wife likes Stremio because it works exactly like any other streaming app: get recommended stuff based on your viewing habits, pick something to watch, stream instantly. HDR and Dolby Atmos just works out of the box too. Couldn't be simpler.

Is Jellyfin similar, or does it work more like Plex/Kodi, where you have to acquire the content, stick it on a server, and build up a movie/TV collection manually?

    But why go through all that effort when I could just continue using Stremio instead? There is nothing to automate in Stremio. You just pick what you want to watch and watch it.

    Maybe people aren't explaining it in a way that clicks with me, but I just don't understand the benefit of Jellyfin. It seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle for no reason.

    Its like plex but without any of the features and free content. You have to set more up yourself to use jellyfin, and you need your own content. You could technically watch plex's free content without bringing your own though.
