I use it for streaming to my phone on the train to work.
It also has a really nice feature where it can sync between 2 or more people. Even when they choose 2 formats or audio tracks.
So for example if you and your friend wants to watch anime. You enjoy hearing Japanese and reading the subtitles but they prefer English dub. Well you can still sync up and watch (given your source has both Audio tracks)
Jellyfin is a nice frontend + transcode manager for your folder of mashed up .mp4 files. Main benefit is streaming to any device (with compatible jf client) on your network
Is Jellyfin much better than just mashing mp4’s into a folder? I never understood the streaming server hype but also never tried it.

Have you had a good experience using syncplay?
Every time I use it I get horrible desync between people
I’ve literally coded my own website that acts as an alternative to syncplay, and has a chat on the side as well
