I’m trying out jellyfin lately and there are a few frustrations I’ve run into. I don’t have any transcoding hardware, running a Xeon d based server and Jellyfin does not like this. Plex can transcode fine without a quicksync enabled CPU, but Jellyfin is very hit or miss.
The Apple TV app. Been using Plex on Apple TV for years and had zero issues. Tried the Jellyfin app and it is pretty terrible. Even scrolling through movies is problematic as it bugs out. Cant play 4k movies either. I tried using Infuse and it is much better and can play 4k movies. The only thing I really miss from Plex here is sorting movies by year, rating etc.
Mobile apps. Again, problems with the Jellyfin app. It’s very hit or miss whether something will play or not, and usually seeking will make it hang forever.
I’m very tempted to bust out my old Intel nuc and test Jellyfin with quicksync, but I don’t really want to increase my power usage just for one app. So I’ll primarily use Plex for now until I upgrade my server or Jellyfin becomes less demanding.
MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.
