I’m in the same situation as you- I have a Synology NAS and I want to set up some sort of streaming for my old home movies. I would like to be able to view on mobile and at home. Is Emby possibly a better option than JellyFin for that scenario? I wasn’t even aware of them.

Overall I do like Emby more than JellyFin. Emby is commercial, like Plex. I believe the client applications (ie everything but the web) needs a licensed server but they have a free trial period. There is a remote option

And they have a service they call Connect intended to simplify the remote access.

Caveat, I've not really used the remote capabilities at all, I can't speak to how it compares to Plex's. I have streamed remotely through a VPN connection, rather than setting up public access. But only once or twice, and mostly to test the VPN rather than for the purpose of streaming.
