Hi I'm looking for a selfhosted solution to host my home videos and
photos. It should be able possible to create multiple accounts for
each family member. Jellyfin looks like a good solution but seems to
doesn't work great with home made content. Especially photos but a
nativ Android TV app would be awesome.

Same. I named my home videos using their file naming scheme for tv
shows. Each year is the season with episodes in sequential order.
Works great. “S1998e20”. I then created custom poster art for each
year. It takes some time, but once it’s done I now have my whole
childhood digitized and accessible.

This. Its exactly why I won't switch from Plex to Jellyfin, all the
hours I have put in naming and tagging things.

This is something I didn't know I needed. Smart move, thank you!
