well jellyfin is OSS so if the community is large its going to be hard to match that internally.
i went with emby because it has better app support and i know eventually jellyfin will catch up and surpass it at which point it'll be real easy to just switch over. plex was a non starter because they make local accounts hard to use to better push their ad supported crap on users.
ie your parents create a plex account to use your server the defaults will mean they see all that ad supported plex content until you walk them through removing it
