      Not OP but there were 3 things that made me switch back after about 2 weeks (around 5 months ago):

      1. Lack of intro and credit skipping (I think they’re working towards it tho?). There was an add-on but it just wasn’t a comparable experience
      2. Poor options to customize subtitle display (wasn’t even looking for much, just a black outline and maybe bolder font). I forget the detail about what was missing at this point, just remember being annoyed with it.
      3. The android app on TV just felt like they never considered it may be used with a remote (some buttons and menus in annoying to reach places, like the alphabet for quickly jumping in a library). Also felt like there were 3-4 differently bad screens for browsing the library rather than 1 good one.

      It’s very impressive how good they made jellyfin with volunteer effort, it’s just very tough to compete with paid staff (in terms of how much time can they put into each feature and part). I do hope it gets there, cuz plex has been circling the drain for a while for me now.
