.NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
Jellyfin is great for movies & shows. As an anecdote, it's not so good for music if you're a collector. I personally use Navidrome for that[0].
Anyway, Sonarr[1] makes use of .NET, too. Very reliable software, in my experience.

Building a digital music collection in 2023
Please don't reencode your entire collection to "save space", or use git for version control.
Put your lossless files on a server as a source-of-truth (with a regular cold backup somewhere else) and install a streaming server, like Navidrome[1], which will allow you to transcode on-the-fly to all of your devices. This is how you build a true "digital music collection": so that you won't regret it 5 years from now, when the site you bought your flac's from closed down/erased your files, leaving you solely with the reencoded mp3/opus files you kept, unable to move to better formats as they progress.

Server-side alternative to SoundCloud?
Could use Navidrome, you can create logins for friends.

Unorthodox Things to Self Host?
You should check out Navidrome. I've been using it for music alongside Jellyfin for other media. It supports scrobbling to multiple endpoints (including Last.FM of course), and supports the subsonic API for clients. I use D-Sub on Android.

How do you handle multiple identically named albums from the same artist?
Slowdive and Weather Report have two self-titled releases a piece, Slowdive from 1990 and 2017, Weather Report from 1971 and 1982. Given that Navidrome is someone limited in how it indexes releases (if I understand this correctly), this is somewhat of an issue.
There’s a pending PR that treats albums with different release dates as different albums, which would solve this: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/pull/2162

Any way to stream my nearly 2TB library from my iPhone?
If you want to stream from your Mac, I recommend Navidrome. It has both iOS clients and a web front-end. You'd need to have the Mac running. Unless you explore offline cache via client.

A Call for Developers – Jellyfin
One suggestion I’ll make to the Jellyfin team is to post this call at the point where users are requesting things too.
In the example in the blogpost (Chromecast support), in the issue I was asking a bit about how I could help implement the feature (https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/issues/271#issuecomment...).
Even if there’s nothing I could have productively done to contribute to that feature, I would absolutely have gone to those getting started features.
So, I’d encourage the team to have a pretty quick hand in issues when people are asking to help to link to this blog post and getting started resources.
Finally, none of this is in anyway a criticism of how any interaction was handled. I super appreciate everyone that works on Jellyfin, and I know onboarding developers can often feel like/be more work than not. Just a suggestion for a good spot to add some CTA links that I think would convert reasonably well

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
Jellyfin is my jam, it just works. Its administration interface is intuitive, pretty solid, personally I think the dashboard looks good aesthetically, and most importantly it’s open source so if anything is broken I can just fix it myself. If anyone is interested in feel free to check out Swiftfin (https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin) a native iOS client

Burn subtitles outside jellyfin
Some examples are Jellyfin Media Player, Swiftfin, or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats and these clients always direct play my media.

Multi-arch support now available for the jellyfin-intro-skipper container
My understanding is it works on the Jellyfin Mobile app for iOS, but not the new Swiftfin app.
-
y'all what were the biggest hurdle you had from transfering from Plex/Emby to Jellyfin
Absolutely not. It was just published to the App Store 10 days ago and there is a massive refactor of the playback code currently in progress.
- Time to revisit Jellyfin
