I have setup Jellyfin as a docker container and will bind-volume the same locations as Plex, but I was interested in anyone's perspective having made the switch in the last year or so.

What are some things you miss, what are issues/benefits you hadn't expected?

Subtitles had been my main issue with Jellyfin.

I don't personally care, but my wife is all about the subtitles so that makes it a big issue for me!

For the language, I went in and set it for my user for the subtitles and audio.

I also have bazaar setup to clean up the subtitles.

Bazaarr is a good tip and I'll look in to that, thank you. I've found Jellyfin's external subtitle plugin to be hit and miss.

I used to have subtitle management issues, but now I use mkv files so that I can include the original subtitles from my discs. You can use settings in Handbrake to control size and quality. This doesn't help of course if you aren't using discs...
