Jellyfin a wonderful alternative to Plex and Emby and is completely FREEEEEEEEEE Thats right FREEEEEEEEEE
Requires a server to start playing media. Can't use this android app on a device that has movies and songs saved on the internal storage/filesystem to play that media, it requires pairing with a host first. Yuck.
Expecting that a software does something that it's not designed for is very irrational.
Jellyfin is awesome, open-source, and works great across many devices. BE YOUR OWN NETFLIX.
We use it in-browser, the Android and iOS app, and on Roku and it rarely lets us down.
Works on my AM4 PC. Not on my Android media console. It barely launched anything. Needs more power. I removed the client from it.
Been using Jellyfin for my family for a year now with no issues. Works flawlessly on my mobile devices and LG Smart TV.
Amazing project. I used plex many years ago but I much prefer Free/Libre and Open Source software projects. I briefly looked at alternatives such as original Emby and Jellyfin but stuck with Plex for about 2 years as I had a better experience with hardware encoding.
Plex got to a point where it was causing me issues so I tried the move to Jellyfin again and had great success and it's just been getting better and better.
I've been happily using Jellyfin for probably over 3 years now.
