From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
This all feels like it should be 800x less of an issue because phones & tablets should just be able to connect over SMB & you should use whatever media player you want on your device.
Telling your home router to forward 445 is not that hard. Usinf minupnpc or just building in auto-port forwarding would be better. Alas I've seen some isp's block users from connecting to 445, which seems insane (my ispets me host there, but my parents isp blocks me from dialing home?!). So I often forward on another port (ex: 4445) and then everything works fine.
The main problem why the obvious "just use computers" problems doesnt work is... Android. Phones. These incressingly user-hostile anti-general-purpose-computing systems. Some of my media players still work with the 2017 code drom of the Android Samba Provider, but it uses old Android APIs so many media players wont work with it. I have no idea if Android still makes filesystem providers possible at all, but we havent seen any, and this one old one-time-drop artifact remains the only example I know of it ever having beem done ever on Android. But then again I really have had no interest in Box/Azure Drives/whatever... it'd be interesting/great to know if anyone does remote drives on android today. It feels wild that we have so much bespoke special software for remote media serving... when we have seemingly so little that does the general job.

Ideally upnp/dlna should also somehow be an option too, but it assumes secure private networks I think? I'd love if it could be exposed publicly but locked down but it does all use mdns. And Tailscale's the only company on the planet who seemingly has the sense to extend our homenet's reach quickly/easily.

SMB Client
Since Android 13 the Google Samba client https://github.com/google/samba-documents-provider won't load. It's by far the simplest and best client I've seen (free, ad-free, works with the OOB file explorer). But it's knackered, and you know, Google and their abandonware makes me think it'll never be fixed.

Okay, so what makes jellyfin better than Plex after all? I'm going to list things that don't matter to me in the body text below
I cannot help you with this, but this is what I found.

Cannot compile Jellyfin Tizen correctly to install the app on my samsung TV
This is the github repository link I'm following: (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen/blob/a8629f095dc8ef25878796f549defbb306978246/README.md)

Advice/Suggestions For A First Server
If you're actually going to use the extra features of Plex/Jellyfin over a pure media player like Kodi, generally you would install the sever on a headless box, then install the client on your TV or connected media player. Plex is usually a single click app install on most Samsung TVs. Jellyfin might take a bit more work.

I would pay if i could get everything i wanted in same place
there is a Tizen client (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen) but it isn't on the app store so you need to install it with dev mode which isn't easy for the average Joe
-
I removed all sections from the Jellyfin Tizen app and now I can't open settings to add them back
The app version is just whatever git HEAD was when I built it, d23ca24. The server version is 10.8.9-1 on a RPi 2 installed via apt.
- Is jellyfin really so much better than Plex?

It Might Not Be a Perfect Comparison, but the Difference Between the Swiftfin and the Plex iOS App Privacy Policies are a Perfect Example of Why I Switched.
It's unfortunate but you can compile and deploy an app for Samsung: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen
