    The quality and features of JellyFin are nowhere close to Plex. I have used both for years.

      I’m in the same boat as you. I’d love to switch but the user experience of Jellyfin is still pretty bad outside the most basic cases. If you have a media center PC, it’s fine, but if you want to be able to switch between several devices the way you can with Netflix, it’s quite poor.

      Plex is slowly trending down and Jellyfin is slowly trending up. I hope Jellyfin outpaces Plex before the enshittification is complete, but it’s a steep hill to climb.

      Quality is fine, sounds like user error. Features sure, but that’s to be expected with a paid app.

        Show me an AppleTV JellyFin client that “just works”. Something my mom & dad could use to watch a movie. Something that can do normal media player things like seeking or subtitles.

        There is a huge disparity in the quality, support, and features of the various clients.

          I don’t use Apple products so I can’t speak to the AppleTV support.

          But your criticisms seem to be of clients for Jellyfin rather than Jellyfin itself.
