i know jellyfin has subtitles but i dont see filter by audio/sub language in list, and metadata is one lang only no translate for synopsis/poster

I would recommend installing Kodi on your chromecast and using the jellyfin addon[1] into Kodi instead. The app is garbage and Kodi is awesome. (Don't use the Jellyfin Connect addon, it's different and I wouldn't recommend it) [1] https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi
What makes you not recommend Jellyfin Connect? I've been on Connect ~1y now and I found it a smoother and hassle-free experience compared to Jellyfin Kodi (which I was on for ~1y prior to switching). JC has less bells and whistles with library integration and metadata but I'm not missing anything, really.

I don't understand this desire, why would you ever want that? The point of using something like Plex is to organize by metadata.
Because some people just prefer something to be laid out a certain way. I have that with music for example, I don't care about albums other than a grouping unit for files (my playlist is flat though). Album art, etc is otherwise irrelevant to me, but some music apps will fetishize organization by album, etc and the art is highlighted etc.
anyone know good solution for share media library with people in different language? we have 3 principal languages here in house (russian english french) not all people is good with audio/subtitle in different lang i know jellyfin has subtitles but i dont see filter by audio/sub language in list, and metadata is one lang only no translate for synopsis/poster
I've been a Plex-to-Jellyfin convert for a long while now, and I've nothing bad to say. I switched because Plex kept pushing their streaming services, and the fuzzy feeling I get from running FOSS. Jellyfin used to run on my desktop which has a beefy CPU/GPU, but runs fine on my puny Synology NAS.
How difficult is the transition from Plex to Jellyfin, do you lose any capabilities? Also what's the fuzzy feeling you get running FOSS? Do you contribute to the project?
overall, not quite ready, but on it's way
I've used Plex, currently on Emby - why should I switch to Jellyfin, they seem identical? Almost a fork really. Appreciate the info, this is a real question and I can make the switch easily enough :)
You can use hardware decoding for free on jellyfin. It's open source. Emby is now closed source.

You could put the movie files in different folders. And thus create different libraries inside jellyfin.
(My NAS isn't strong enough to burn subtitles in real time. Even it does, I just cannot get the fonts to work. All CJK characters are displayed as squares.)
I have moved from Plex to Emby and finally to Jellyfin to run the Raspberry Pi media server in my camping van. The problem with Plex and Emby (other than their business model of wanting to collect a monthly fee for allowing you to watch your own media) was that they required the server to phone home before they would work. This isn't possible if you are camping and don't have a cell/wifi signal. And Jellyfin has work…
If you're looking for a slick cross-platform Jellyfin client in the Apple ecosphere, try Infuse. It's quite polished, and even available for tvOS- my personal motivation for using it.
