Isn't jellyfin just Emby under the hood?
Edit:
https://jellyfin.org/docs
no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.
Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.
Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have "problems" (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).
For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.

Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I'd expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).
Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.
As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn't just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer
