The apps don’t work well at all. If you’re just desktop based, its fine. But Nvidia Shield app, firestick app, mobile app, all have issues with hardware transcoding, and also somehow doesn’t handle subtitles properly. I have had both Plex and Jfin set up side by side multiple times, trying to test if I can make the swap. But JF just has too many bugs on their apps, which is what I use primarily, as do my users.
Sounds more like you had transcoding issues.
Using the Jellyfin Android app and the Android TV app on my Chromecast.
Besides .ssa subtitles I usually never need to transcode. And usually the transcoding reason is me using an incomptaible audio/video source (TrueHD audio and HDR)
Oh so it’s my fault somehow? Sorry but if I use the same library on Plex vs. JF and one works fine, the other doesn’t. That’s not my fault lol. It was set up to hardware transcode, and still didn’t work for many files. Plex did. Same with subtitles. I watched the same file with Plex and JF side by side. Same directory. Subtitles worked with Plex, all fucked up with JF. JF also crashed all the time on my Nvidia Shield.
Listen…
Some weeks ago I had trouble transcoding some anime files. Didnt really work amd had a low processing framerate using VAAPI. Switched to Intel hardware transcodig and suddenly it worked.
I don’t know your setup or when exactly you tried out JF, but theres absolutely no need to be offended.
I had intel hardware transcoding turned on for both JF and Plex. Many files did not work on JF. I am offended and annoyed because people keep telling me it’s my problem - when it’s not. It’s JF issues that are not solveable by me. I even went to the discord and talked to the devs, and they literally said “oh yea we don’t have tons of focus on the mobile apps unfortunately”, and acknowledged that my issue was a bug. Yet people continue to tell me “IT WORKS FOR ME SO YOU’RE DUMB.”
Listen…
I never said it’s a problem you caused.
I literally said that I had a working setup, which suddenly stopped working as expected and I solved it by switching the hardware acceleration setting from VAAPI to QuickSync.
This time it was an easy fix. But it was either an underlying issue with the way I set it up or a bug. Nonetheless it stopped working for no apparent reason.

Calm your nerves!
Stop telling me to listen. I cannot hear you. I can only read what you write.
