Browser apps are very annoying though. The support for some codecs (like HEVC) is usually worse in a browser.

And for now you can do that, but that’s not the first, and not the last update trying to prevent people selling access to their server.

Yeah, but jellyfin’s clients apps are all pretty bad. And I say this as a jellyfin user.

I have fewer issues with the jellyfin app on my TV than I do with literally any of the streaming apps on the same television. My only gripe with jellyfin is there’s no PS5 app.

The TV app for my LG is just a webview of the webpage and works great; but on my android devices FinDroid has problems with decoding the video, and the official app kinda sucks, and on my apple devices swiftfin works ok, but sometimes doesn’t load the videos and has to be manually relaunched. Dunno about other streaming apps since I never used them, but for me jellyfin’s clients are very unreliable.
