First of, take a breather; this isn't the end of the world and a change of pace may help you clear your head.
Are we calm now? Great. So, are you aware that Jellyfin is a media server? It sounds to me that what you want is some type of media organizer/player. I mean, yeah, Jellyfin can technically do all those things, but the primary focus is with providing a way to serve your media over a local and/or remote network. This makes this type of software far more complex than your use case may need, so perhaps looking into a media organizer software with playback capabilities would be a better fit.
Now, to reiterate the points others have eloquently already made in this thread, consider that there is no corporation or commercial entity behind Jellyfin; it's all just volunteers, from coders to community members willing to read posts and help out. To come out swinging like that is unnecessary and rude. We're just offering our time here as a favor and as a way to give back to the community by trying to help as best we can. I can understand that Jellyfin's learning curve can be frustrating, but you don't really gain anything by making threads with oversized font yelling for help while also leveling accusations against the team and forum members that are offering support freely. You can ask respectfully and wait for help, or you can put on your big boy pants and read through the documentation.
My intention is not to come off as unfriendly, but I had to be blunt to set the record straight here. We are willing to help, after all, but like I said, keep in mind this is not a paid commercial service and we're not employees of some megacorp.
