> Problem is if a movie has multiple languages.

Yes thats my problem multiple audio or multiple subtitles. thanks for link

you mean symlink? or i need 3 times big HDD for 3 language?

anyone know good solution for share media library with people in different language? we have 3 principal languages here in house (russian english french) not all people is good with audio/subtitle in different lang

i know jellyfin has subtitles but i dont see filter by audio/sub language in list, and metadata is one lang only no translate for synopsis/poster

manual change for metadata is bigger work when you have big library, move or rename folder is easy and fast from terminal of FTP you dont require custom web app

and auto-metadata from IMDB and other API is bad if you have niche videos (me: documentaires for anarchism, feminism, anti-colonialism). so bad it can replace good data with bad data (example sub.media/c/trouble documentary series becomes "good trouble" series)

i use navidrome but no folder view, so mixtapes with many artist is counted like many albums

> Why can't a folder contain both movies and tv series?

i don't understand this too... i just want to respect folder not have simple metadata control all

also subtitle SRT upload is broken (maybe fixed in source now)

and jellyfin want to own media plays ok with nextcloud but when i have permissions broken, after i fix chown jellyfin was 100% broken delete/add library didn't work (scan never started) had to entirely delete jellyfin db to work it again

jellyfin is good software, better to alternative, but needs work for improve

> subtitles go out of sync regularly

can be problem with subtitle source?

> "codec not supported by browser"

probable problem with browser not jellyfin?

> There are also other annoyances like the player forgetting my subtitle selection when jumping to the next video of the same season of a show.

+1

> There's also no quality setting that is just "stream the source file directly". It seems to always want to transcode when embedding subtitles, which I guess is done by ffmpeg on the server but is really the player's job.

Direct source file is download button it can play in vlc, or can use FTP. why embed subtitles? here i think jellyfin use external track for subtitle (default parametres)

jellyfin is good but lots of bugs need help. "just being user" like me is not helping very much

hello using jellyfin for months no idea how to folder view. can you explain?
