Oh so it's my fault somehow? Sorry but if I use the same library on Plex vs. JF and one works fine, the other doesn't. That's not my fault lol. It was set up to hardware transcode, and still didn't work for many files. Plex did. Same with subtitles. I watched the same file with Plex and JF side by side. Same directory. Subtitles worked with Plex, all fucked up with JF. JF also crashed all the time on my Nvidia Shield.

Lucky you, I did the exact same thing and had plenty of issues. Switched back to Plex, with the exact same library, and had none of those issues.

Because it fucks up subtitles on their Nvidia Shield and firestick apps, and has issues with transcoding too. If you're purely using the desktop app, or browser then it's better. But Plex just works in every aspect. Subtitles, transcoding, sharing libraries. Have had no issues or weird bugs. Anytime I try JF I have to dive deep into resolving bugs, some of which are unsolvable by me.

The apps don't work well at all. If you're just desktop based, its fine. But Nvidia Shield app, firestick app, mobile app, all have issues with hardware transcoding, and also somehow doesn't handle subtitles properly. I have had both Plex and Jfin set up side by side multiple times, trying to test if I can make the swap. But JF just has too many bugs on their apps, which is what I use primarily, as do my users.

Love and Sex eh? Is Frostpunk as chill and cozy as it seems?

Ok, but you never finished the example with the child, parrot and barbie dolls. What is the punchline there?

100% - except Jellyfin only works well if you use the desktop/web UI. If you use TV apps, firestick, shield - any app based system, Jellyfin is total garbo, and I'd recommend Plex instead. I wish Jellyfin apps worked better, I'd switch in a heartbeat, but it runs like garbage on my Nvidia Shield.
