Last year, I tried out #jellyfin, and found it great, but it missed one (for me) must-have feature; HDR support in the LG app. This made me stick with #plex.
But as Plex has gotten more enshittified, yesterday I decided to give Jellyfin another try. Happy to say that I can now watch HDR videos on my LG TV.
For the rest, I'm quite impressed with it. The only thing missing is a "skip intro" feature.
@ainmosni Currently movie g to Jellyfin, playback is great but there seems to be large sections of my library that are miss identified from the old emby library which is giving me a headache and the tools to fix it seem to be far worse.
@ainmosni I’m using Jellyfin, but really wish there was another good player out there beside it and Plex :/
Jellyfin is not a good experience. The playback randomly stops, the stream is often very laggy (I have the server on 1 giga fiber, all media is played without transcoding, and the playback STILL lags and crashes), and I can’t play anything on Apple TV because I get about 1 second of video before it stops. I reported that, but it got ignored: https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/issues/929
@ainmosni I also have hardware encoding enabled. It's weird, like I said, most of my media doesn't need transcoding, but when it does, it gets transcoded at around 200 FPS. I'm not even playing any ridiculous files, everything is 1080p SDR. But still, the stream very often crashes and lags :(
