    I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

    Examples of basic features I’m missing in Jellyfin:

    • Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
    • Adding user-defined tags
    • Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
    • Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
    • [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
    • No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

          Here’s what I see regarding collections:

          How to get to them:

          The context menu that allows you to add them:

          This is in web browser, but the mobile app seems to function much the same way. Only difference seems to be that you have to go into the media page to click the three dot menu on mobile. As far as I can tell, this is the default UI for Jellyfin.

            Thanks. I did miss that one. I was looking for a “Add to this collection” button inside a selected collection.

            However I’m not sure if this collection is visible only to a user that created it, or an admin has to create it and it is visible to everyone?

              Once you click “Add to collection” it will give you the option to either add it to an existing collection, or create a new one.

          The access to collections is pretty obvious (in my UI), it’s at the top with the movie/shows/etc selection. I think it’s a little more complex to start making them, and I believe they’re personal instead of shared. It might also not show up until you make at least one.

          Im not at home, so I cant show you a screen shot, but I’ll try to remember when I am.
