Not sure, I don’t use Jellyfin myself. I use Emby. It’s the more feature rich and polished older brother of Jellyfin.

I’ve been following Jellyfin’s progress because I’d like to go full FOSS but it’s still just not there yet. UI, clients, performance, all too big a downgrade from Plex still.

I can definitely recommend you look into Emby. It’s still the best alternative to Plex’s enshittification.

Thanks so much for the response. You understand. I want to go OSS but I’m just not quite willing to settle for a huge feature gap.

It’s funny, it’s a race to see if the OSS can get good enough or if the commercial software gets shitty enough.

Eventually I’ll switch but the loss in feature has to outweigh the shit.
