Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.
Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.
Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).
Findroid keeps saying it’s not supported on my Pixel 7 for some reason
Sure enough, that fixed it, thanks.
What’s the deal with devs not keeping up with FDroid repos?
They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.
I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.
Whilst some might not find it a huge deal, not being able to shuffle all episodes of a specific TV show is a deal breaker for me. I do have Jellyfin deployed and configured, ready to go for when the feature arrives. Plex feels a lot more polished as well, but I can get over that.
I shuffled all episodes of a show on jellyfin yesterday FYI. Not sure when it was rolled out.
Also on Roku with a recent update
The latest roku updates have it. Unsure about the browser capability. I wouldassumed it has it.
That feature exists on several Jellyfin clients. Which client in particular have you been using that lacks it?
Thanks for letting me know (and to the others that did as well). I might be able to jump sooner than anticipated, I’ll check my client tonight for the feature. I’m using it on the Apple TV, I think its the Swiftfin flavour of the client.
As a side note, it sure is a refreshing change to not be downvoted into oblivion for simply having out of date information and respectfully informed in the comments.
If you’re on AppleTV, another client worth checking out is Infuse, which is a paid app that has a Jellyfin intrgration. Swiftfin is quite a bit newer so it might still be less feature-complete.
