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.

    Unless I'm missing something, Jellyfin can do playlists just fine for my liking anyway.

    What are Smart Collections?

    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.

    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.
