Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!

  Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that’s not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)

  I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !

  No idea about transcoding though :/

  I actually had the opposite experience, better subtitle support without transcoding the video track with Jellyfin

  Is there a way to customize the order of libraries?

  Nope.

  This is still a little weird. I found that the web client (in a browser) handles this really well with default settings. However, if I try to use the desktop app or a mobile client, I have to force it to burn in the subtitles for them to show up reliably. Fortunately, there are per-client settings for this now:

  The other thing is that my libraries are alphabetical in Jellyfin, so “Anime” comes before “Kaiju”, and I truly can’t stand the idea that Godzilla gets sent to the back of the bus.

  If you mean the order the libraries are listed in the web interface, you change that from “User settings” -> “Home”.

    So, I tried that a long time ago, and it didn’t work. Tried it again today, same deal. Then, I tried a third time and actually hit the “Save” button this time… Yeah, I think Jellyfin was never the problem.
