Problem is jellyfin (apps and server) is shit
Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing
merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 week agoYou’re not paying for software maintenance, you’re paying a subscription service to a private company that has already decided to cut back on features that others also thought they were paying to maintain.
If you want to actually pay for software maintenance, migrate to Jellyfin and pay them instead, rather than filtering your payments through middle managers and shareholders first.

You didn’t ask, but if you’ve had a bad experience with the apps, you could try one of the native apps.
My friends on Apple devices thing Swiftfin (github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin) is much better than the normal jellyfin app.
I haven’t used this one/know anyone that has: Findroid (third party) (github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid). Mostly because I haven’t had any issues with the official jellyfin app for android, but it would probably give a cleaner experience, being native and all.
For the server, I think it’s fantastic. Never had any problems that weren’t a few clicks to resolve. Pretty much use it and forget I’m the one maintaining it for the most part. I wonder what issues you encountered?

Many of us bought lifetime passes ages ago though so we’re not paying a subscription.
