      Jellyfins pretty great. It’s much simpler than Plex and has quite a few less features, but it does what it does really well

          Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.

          Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.

          Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).

            Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool

            I’ll probably keep both installed

              Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 bit only.

              I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.

                Sure enough, that fixed it, thanks.

                What’s the deal with devs not keeping up with FDroid repos?

          Whilst some might not find it a huge deal, not being able to shuffle all episodes of a specific TV show is a deal breaker for me. I do have Jellyfin deployed and configured, ready to go for when the feature arrives. Plex feels a lot more polished as well, but I can get over that.

              Thanks for letting me know (and to the others that did as well). I might be able to jump sooner than anticipated, I’ll check my client tonight for the feature. I’m using it on the Apple TV, I think its the Swiftfin flavour of the client.

              As a side note, it sure is a refreshing change to not be downvoted into oblivion for simply having out of date information and respectfully informed in the comments.

                If you’re on AppleTV, another client worth checking out is Infuse, which is a paid app that has a Jellyfin intrgration. Swiftfin is quite a bit newer so it might still be less feature-complete.

        Sadly in the 4 years I’m using it jellyfin still couldn’t figure out how to correctly display series season covers and has some streaming bugs (no audio when audio is DTS and PGS subs are enabled ect)

          You should redo your org from scratch and let all the default plugins do the work. Mine looks great and I never changed anything, just followed the recommended file org pattern for Movies and TV Shows.

      Sorry, why are we switching away from Plex because of this? Genuinely asking.

      E: Wow at the downvotes to an honest question. 🥲

    Imo this is not enshitification yet, but I’m concerned it could pave the way! It all depends on whether they make using your own content harder to promote this, or if it’s just a side hustle to add another revenue stream.
