Comment on People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

I just want Findroid to support transcoding. I hate that the official app is very obviously just a webview - I mean if I couldn’t tell then I wouldn’t care, but it doesn’t feel very native and behaves slightly glitchy when navigating around. Sometimes instead of scrolling, the webview does the little “stretch bounce” overscroll thing. I wish they could get an experienced android dev to make a polished native-feeling app.

I honestly feel like 99% of my aesthetic issues with jellyfin would be solved by having the Overseer devs do a redesign. Overseer looks amazing and I tried to make a jellyfin theme to copy it and Plex, but found that not enough elemts had classes for me to select with CSS so I gave up. Jellyfin vue looks pretty good but suffers the same problem as third party apps - being under heavy development with lots of missing features (last I checked I couldn’t get subtitle selection to work)

Here’s a bonus one: why does the Plex search results look so much better??
