Ahh...i almost forgot that Kodi still exist, i remembered using Kodi when it still XBMC and ohh man that was absolutely great
Nowadays there's too many multimedia apps, even i still confused what the difference between Jellyfin, Kodi, Plex, & Stremio

Kodi: A standalone multimedia player, it plays contents stored locally or on the network (SMB, NFS)

Plex/Jellyfin: Multimedia server, it shares local content over network/internet to multiple users.

Stremio: Plays content from online sources (torrent, HTTP)

For good measure, let's also mention Kodi's support for 3rd-party add-ons, such as various legitimate (e.g. national broadcasters) VoD services, pirate streams scrapers, live TV (e.g. IPTV or TVHeadend), as well as e.g. Jellyfin/Jellycon. And that's not even all!

I tried to keep things simple, however I use Kodi mainly with PlexMod addon.

Plex official apps have many issues with audio and subtitles, Kodi plays (almost) everything and better options for audio/subtitles

Plex and jellyfin can host your files on your network.

Plex and kodi can play the media on your devices.
