Once they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin (+Sonarr, Radarr, QBittorrent) and never looked back.
Automatically downloads new episodes of my favorite shows
Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.
I have jellyfin but Netflix is more reliable and convenient. It's just that recently it's really hard to find anything interesting on Netflix anyway so this Twitter BS is just like the last drop...
IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do You can see all the actors in a movie, and then see all the shows and movies I have that the actor is in. I think it's more featured than Netflix
I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don't do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.
I have every movie I've ever liked, and don't have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.
$0 a month....
I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn't able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there's just one language and that's it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I'm interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.
You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don't need that quality too
I highly suggest revisiting, using that guide I linked.
I gave up on my media server many times due to complexity and issues, once I set this up I can't go back.
