If you know plex it’s the same thing just open source.
But they are just video player front ends for your media libray
Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again

I mean I have VLC. I have no issues with most media. I was under the impression it was a source for the media. Thanks.

Plex and Jellyfin organize your media using metadata and it’s pretty much your own Netflix, Hulu type thing.
However, if you get a Plex pass you can stream your media outside of your network to friends and family. Or just yourself when you’re out of the house. But your PC would need to stay on, unless you have a NAS bay with the hard drives in it.

I didn’t see any channels. Is it like Kodi? Maybe I’m just using it wrong.

It’s basically a gallery for all your downloaded movies/shows, that you can just click play on whatever you have downloaded.

It’s your personal netflix with your stuff on it.
