I'm also 90% done migrating to jellyfin. I've had the instance running for 6 months now, the cultural change to watch jellyfin is complete, except for my wife's iPad.

Heck, I should just retire Plex. That will force the change.

These are the thoughts of a cold and calloused sysadmin. Didn't get the email about the change? Too bad.

yeah it took me about 6 months with jellyfin to feel like i was ready to finally kill plex. the thing that finally did it was getting an email from plex asking if i'd like to check out whats streaming on hbomax.

What are you using to watch jellyfin on iOS?

In order of personal preference:

Maybe just try them all out and find the one that fits you best. You could also use more than one (which is what I do).

Maybe, Streamyfin? its the only iOS App with Downloads and Offline-Mode

Swiftfin is what I'm using for Plex on my Apple TV

It's perfect for me because it supports direct stream and decoding of the file for playback on the Apple TV - because the Apple TV is capable enough to do that.

This is ideal because my NAS server is a venerable but now very long in the tooth HP Gen 8 microserver from 2014, so it doesn't have the chops for reencoded streaming anymore.
