If you haven't seen it yet, we recently made the announcement that starting July 1, 2026, the price of "Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads)" will increase to $0.00 USD*. There has been a lot of enthusiasm regarding charge backs, and we're simply blown away by the community's response.
As we've had a high volume of inquiries, I'd ask if you could please wait until I'm off the support email shift to reach out about this issue. I've attached our schedule so you'll know when it is safe to reach out.
Thanks, and happy streaming!
*Example price in USD. Exact pricing in other currencies may vary.
I recall a lot of people commenting how they were really happy with jellyfin after the plex increase
I am really happy with Jellyfin after giving up on Plex, after realizing they really do not care about their customers/users. We have a bug on LG TVs where Plex is incredibly sluggish, both to start up and to navigate. Even moving between elements on a single screen takes like 1.5 seconds.
Been a known bug to the developers for about a decade going by the forums. Devs have responded to this. They won't respond anymore. They don't care.
I openly suggested in the forum posts there, that people should move to Jellyfin, and that I was doing the same. Enough is enough. Plex used to be quite performance on my TV.
Jellyfin just flies, with the exact same library access.
Edit: there's a second bug which they've known about forever as well which is that Plex can't select the correct audio track no matter which one you select. It'll just pick English always (or perhaps the default/main track or whatever it is in a video container). Jellyfin handles this flawlessly. 👌
Idk about "flies", but it's tolerable. On older TVs it remains clunky, but usable. Also, definitely has it's share of bugs. But that's FOSS for you. I'm not going $750 out of pocket for it.
I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that. Compared to Plex anyway, with its 1–2s just to move a square outline from one movie poster to another movie poster, same hardware, same library. It's ridiculous. Jellyfin master race.
Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering? I haven't seen any as of yet. Maybe one, where you are sometimes unable to back out of playing media with the remote back button and have to aim-click it with the cursor and middle button. Other than that I haven't seen anything else.
