  It sucks and can’t handle subtitles well.

  I too want a good plex alternative that:

  • Doesn’t require substantial client configuration or fuckery
  • Has robust subtitle support

    Jellyfin doesn’t require client fuckery. Just URL, login, password.

    It takes a little more work on the server side though, particularly to use https connections while self hosting.

    And I’m not sure what robust subtitle support you’re looking for, but jellyfin will show them when I enable them afaik.

      Jellyfin’s subtitle support is atrocious. If you are from a multilingual household it is simply not suitable.

    Huh? What issues are you having with subtitles? I use subtitles on almost everything and they’re perfectly fine.

      Do you manually download them yourself or do you pull them at runtime?

        I have bazarr set up. So neither of those.
