    I use Plex

    • Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)

    Collections exist along with ratings.

    • Adding user-defined tags

    I think you have to be admin to do that bevause it’s part of the library metadata. Shared libraries would have to use playlists or collections which are per user. I don’t use Jellyfin so I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

    • Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering

    Filters work well. Similar to iTunes. The filters aren’t listed in alphabetical order for some fucking reason, though.

    • Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)

    I think you can filter by movie language? Never done this. I don’t think it cares about the languages available in the audio streams.

    • [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)

    None on Plex.

    • No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

    There’s automatic collections but there isn’t a UI element that shows if a movie is missing from a collection or vice/versa.

      Thanks. It looks like Plex does have more user friendly features, but still no info about relations. That’s a bummer.

      It is really important to know the watch order (even if I had to specify it manually). When I think about it, Jellyfin probably fails even for the simplest watch orders like The Lord of the Rings; not to mention Stargate (Movie 1 -> Show -> Movie 2+3).

      You can filter by audio and subtitle languages. Most of my movies have more than one language track and it identities them correctly.
