Plex4kodi there is a jellyfin like one but it is not even close.
Comment on Plex server patching required
beerclue@lemmy.world 7 months agoI’ve never used Plex. What are some of the features that you’re missing in Jellyfin? Genuinely curious.

Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.
Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:
- Smart collections & playlists
- Skip intros and credits
- Overall slick UI

I like Emby too, personally.

Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that’s been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.
- I don’t know what smart collections are, but I do get automatic collections for franchises (like all “28 x later”) via a plugin. I don’t have playlists, but I guess I never felt the need for one… What would you use them for, binge watching franchises?
- skip intro and credits is a thing, built in since a few versions (used to be a plugin)
- the UI is subjective, and I don’t know any other one… I personally like how it looks, I customized quite a bit, easy to do via CSS.

Skip intros and credits is available on Jellyfin.
I think the Plex UI is still better than Jellyfin, but I’ve gotten used to it.
Never used the smart collections when I was on plex, so can’t speak to that.

For me personally, integration with something similar to the plex_debrid script. I love how easy it is to add something my plex watchlist and have the plex_debrid script fetch it, add it to my debrid account, update the network mount, and automatically refresh my plex library in a matter of 2 minutes tops.
If jellyfin had a similar integration/feature I would switch over in a heartbeat.
