Just a heads-up if you need subtitles, for me and apparently many others with Jellyfin the subs get easily out of sync. The issue in Github[0] has been open for 2.5 years and seems dead.. Only option seems to be re-transcoding and burning the subtitles into the video.

This only partially related.
I recently killed all my subscriptions and swapped over to a plex + seedbox + sonar/radarr set up.
The experience is good but not quite up to par with real streaming service. There are still rough edges. I always have issues with plex subtitles.
https://overseerr.dev/ is a nice addition for content exploration to the set up but for me the missing piece is being able to stream on demand.
Does anyone know if it's possible to bridge the gap between streaming torrents and tv?
Maybe webtorrents + casting?
It looks like Radarr (and I assume Sonarr) both have features to monitor that the watchlist in plex https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/5705
It's a clever way to do this without leaving Plex. I've used Ombi or PlexRequests in the past but they weren't my favorite and I finally gave up and used the sonarr/radarr UI directly.
I've also been waiting for the Jellyfin app on LG and have been following this issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-webos/issues/99
Current status LG QA is testing it and if it passes should be available in the LG Content Store soon after that.
I wanted to like jellyfin. It seemed like a great option for playing music.
But the 17,000 music tracks in my library crashes the jellyfin server every time I tried to play music.
Plex and Emby phone home all the time (why should they need to do that when all my media is local? No thanks!)
And so I stick with Mythtv[0] (which really seems out of favor with folks these days) which has awesome codec support (I haven't had to transcode anything, it just plays -- probably because ffmpeg is their back end).
It plays my music library, it plays and manages my 10,000+ item video library, supports a real remote control (in my case an Inteset 422[3]) via IR or Wifi.
I can keep my backend (server) (VM with multiple data sources) and frontend (playback/library management) version sync'ed with normal update processes via the appropriate software repositories (in my case, RPM Fusion on Fedora, but other distros[1] have the same).
It doesn't support streaming from Android/IOS/etc, but I just make my libraries externally available via Nextcloud[2], which meets my remote streaming needs.
No, it's not perfect. Yes, the add-on ecosystem is pretty awful. The devs seem much more interested in the DVR functionality (which I don't use) than the video/music library functionality.
That said, it's under active development with regular bug fixes and feature releases and has a fairly active user community.
But there's zero external communication required (unlike Plex or Emby), nor are there any commercial integrations (well, if you want to use the DVR functionality you do need to buy a yearly subscription (IIRC ~USD$15) for the guide data, but I don't use the DVR functionality, so I don't need it).
There certainly are limitations:
1. No streaming apps, but I don't care about that. If I want a streaming client I'll just use my roku;
2. Grabbing video metadata can be a pill if file naming conventions are too different from themoviedb.org and/or thetvdb.com;
3. No direct torrent integrations;
It's not fabulous, but it works for me. And if you just want something to host/play your local media, it's pretty darn good.
Did I mention that I have yet to transcode anything to get video (with or without subtitles) to play?

Typically because you are trying to play media with codecs that aren't supported by your browser, and transcoding is either not working or working suboptimally. Native clients (like MPV, VLC, or the desktop app) tend to have better codec support and support decoding the native media stream directly.
Some people work around this by making sure they only store supported codecs, either by being selective with media or offline transcoding (which can be instrumented with software like https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr).
The iOS app is open source, so you are welcome to contribute a PR: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-expo
It's maintaned by a single developer in his spare time, so I'm sure he'd appreciate it!
