Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “I’ve spent years fine-tuning my Plex folder structure and file naming so everything imports cleanly. With Jellyfin, though, it’s not recognizing things the same way”
- “Right now it feels like I’d have to go in and fix each file manually, which I’m really trying to avoid.”
- “I completely reworked my library manually, I had a lot of mess in folders and names of things that Plex was catching pretty well but jellyfin didn't”
