I'm looking for a library manager for video (lemmy.one)

I use Calibre for books, and it's a great way to track my ebooks from various folders. Is there an equivalent for video libraries?

I also use Plex, but it is definitely not FOSS. Jellyfin is a thing, the UI needs a LOT of work, though.

I prefer Plex mainly because it has allowed me to easily share to family without any real barriers except that the account information is controlled by a for-profit company. And to be fair to myself, I was a Plex user before it left the OSS world, back when it was a simple fork of XBMC. So I’ve been bought-in since its early versions.

I am using Jellyfin daily, I do not think the UI needs any work to be perfectly usable. All I do is watch videos though, file sorting and naming I do in the file manager.

Compared to Plex and any modern UI, it’s garbage. But I agree it does indeed work well enough. Just not my cup of tea.
