Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

My Home Lab setup
Media Server: EMBY

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.

I want to move away from my Nvidia Shield Pro as a client but I'd like to understand my alternatives a little better
If you want to replicate this, try Kodi plus the Jellyfin Kodi addon.

Anyone use kodi-headless?
Funny thing is I found about it by accident on jellyfin kodi github Issues page trying to see how to fix/repirt some bugs I experienced https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/647
- Jellyfin for Kodi / JellyCon 'Playback failed' on RPi4

Jellyfin is awesome 🙌
In the specific context of the jellyfin for kodi plugin :

Linus Tech Tips next video is about Plex vs. Jellyfin. Have a look
JellyCon appears to work just fine. Jellyfin for Kodi is suffering from an upstream Python bug if you're running Python 3.11.0 that causes it to crash, but there's nothing we can do until they push updates out. issue.

Jellyfin and Kodi 20
There appears to be some incompatibility with the AndroidTV (and maybe normal Android?) build of Kodi specifically. Haven't tracked down what it is yet, as I kinda need users to do the debugging for me due me not having the relevant hardware myself. It's being tracked here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/705

Questioning on the development of jellyfin
Jellyfin-Kodi - "thick" Kodi addon. syncs metadata from the JF server into Kodi's local database for a native Kodi feel.
-
KODI and jellyfin generated .nfo files
It happens in native mode as well. The issue has been reported here https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/571 and I don't see it being resolved any time soon but I guess using external players with kodi is a niche thing so that's understandable.

JellyCon - Without folder many contents are displayed
Welcome to the club. Nobody currently understands why this happens and until somebody manages to track down whatever the flag is that triggers it, we won't be able to fix it. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/169
