    I’ve been in a multi year process to move my users off plex onto jellyfin. They just keep doing things I’m not a fan of

      Jellyfin is absolute dogshit though.

      Sauce: I just installed it on my media server that concurrently runs plex. I run the app on a fire tv cube to use it… and it crashes* constantly.

      Edit: More stuff :)

      -My media library when imported immediately showed seasons of shows as separate shows, it doesn’t intelligently automatically merge it like Plex would.

      -Subtitle options are not consistent or robust. I MUST have subtitles due to having a multilingual family which is largely ESL, if they speak English at all. This is the problem I tried moving to jellyfin to fix.

        Works great here, and my users are very happy with it. Not disputing your experience, just saying it’s not universal.

        Could be a compatibility issue with amazon’s android fork? I have only used the android client on google pixel, samsung phones and AOSP builds.
