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

  Should be able to * on a “watching” item and remove from from front page watching, you have to go all the way to it’s location in the share, find the move/episode and unset it from the sub,submenu. Should be able to see the file names and location of the items on the front page through submenus. None of the items on the front page can have their options viewed, they all just play on click.

  I miss plex opensubtitles integration

  Unable to unset watched/watching from any grid, it’s one item at a time.

  Lack of Playlists.

  No listing anywhere for filename or bitrate. Would love to see deeper info about the codec for a file hidden away on a submenu.

  (which complicates:) If you have two copies of the same thing with different versions, you can’t tell which is which. (which complicates:) If you have a bad meta match on something, it’s REALLY hard to even tell what it really is. I really miss Plex: Play Version.

  Usecase, I have futurama in both widebox and 4:3, they all just show up twice. In plex they all show up once with a 2 in the corner letting you know there are multiple versions. you can then context->playversion->4.3mbps

  No folder view for unmatched content. When I was putting 1963 Doctor Who up, I could hardly tell what was what without having the meta 100% sorted. In Plex I could just hit folder view and navigate.

    🤘 Right on! Thanks for posting these.

    Several of these have never been brought up to the devs, so this is the first time seeing anyone ask for them.

      Neat, I just figured Roku clients were just going to get just enough attention to work.

      I run everything parallel and have the same shares. Unless I set up the video, the wife and kids always go back to Plex.

      I get it, But at the same time, Samsung is trying to sell what I’m watching, plex is trying to sell what I’m watching, roku is trying to sell what I’m watching. I just want to watch some damn videos without being someone else’s payday.

        Amen!

        Nope. We have a team dedicated to working on the Roku client. They’re constantly working on not only bug fixes, but also improvements and new functionality.
