Buy Blurays and rip them to your machine. From there copy them into Jellyfin.
You will need a Bluray reader, Handbrake and MakeMKV

In this order:

Do not use AV1 or at least don't use it as of now as it isn't supported my most devices. I think there is exactly one phone that supports it as of now

A lot of newer Android-TV-Settop-Boxes are ready for AV1, for example products from Orbsmart.de like my Orbsmart S87L.
On that box is Kodi preinstalled and you can install everything from android-stores, also the Jellybin-client.
Don't forget: Jellybin is a very good open-source-software, but a client-server-system. So you need Hardware for the server-software.

You also need hardware behind the client, for it being able to do hardware decoding. Unless you want the server to constantly transcode everything you watch, for all phones and PC clients..

My point is that H264 is well supported everywhere so I personally am in no hurry to switch. Non of my devices support AV1 so it is a waste of my time for the most part.
What's worse is when I first started a bunch of people recommended AV1 which lead to Jellyfin not working.
And you're the norm, not the exception. Too many people choose to evangelize instead of looking at real-world use cases for the majority. I used to use Nvidia boxes around the house with Kodi. It worked but my wife and kids sure thought it was a pain in the rear often enough that it made it a pain for me too.
