Comment on Plex server patching required

Stillwater@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

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

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.
