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.

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.

Almost imperceptible microstutterings on Firestick 4K Max with Jellyfin app (but not when same videos are played via Kodi)
Jellyfin for Kodi - This addon syncs metadata from selected Jellyfin libraries into the local Kodi database. This has the effect of making interacting with it feel very much like vanilla Kodi with local media (shows up under Movies/TV Shows on the home screen by default, virtually no delay, etc). However, it also tends to consume the database and not share well, so if you have local media or something else that interacts with the database directly, you'll have conflicts and it won't be happy. The sync process can take some extra time on Kodi startup if you don't leave it running 24/7, but it's mostly in the background while Kodi is running.

Kodi plugin stalled?
The first factor is that for an extended period of time, the Jellyfin for Kodi was hard crashing Kodi and I couldn't actually run it to test any changes. This didn't completely stop me from doing stuff, but it certainly made it an order of magnitude harder to do so. Even more fun, now that issue has gone away for me, but one of the other team members has reported it's started happening to them. I can't find the cause, I can only assume it's a python version incompatibility or namespace collision or just fucking witchcraft, who knows. This obviously puts a big damper on how productive I can be with it.

New here and loving it. I have some questions and recommendations

Kodi or Jellyfin on a Linux based NUC
JellyCon - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming addon. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date.

Best Kodi CoreElec setup on S912
Can you describe more what you mean by JellyCon and Embuary being broken? I know the autoconfig wizard thing doesn't work, and it turns into a bunch of manual configs. See https://github.com/mcarlton00/jellycon/issues/14 for more details about it.
