This is why I moved to Emby. I use a different player on all my devices and all my content is HEVC or H264 with AAC or DTS so never an issue playing. No need for premium either.
Jellyfin is on fumes. They made a call for help a couple of years ago but since then, haven’t had much of any. They found a critical bug last build I think and where supposed to disclose the details around the end of last year and it’s May now. No news.
There’s a ton broken and no one to really fix it. I remember posting about a bug and a long standing contributor just basically blamed the scraper and said well that scraper is shit.
I got the sense most of the older crew just gate keep but don’t actually work towards making the thing better.
They also said that they would divulge more about the huge critical fault they found “in a couple of weeks” which was like 6 months ago. Colour me skeptical.

The first major update in over a year is coming out in the next week or two.
Apparently their build pipeline was a major issue for a long time, now that it’s fixed they’re planning to do major releases a lot more regularly.

I’ve been following the development in their discord channel and tracking their general github issue progress.
This big release is coming, for sure.
They’ve been in feature freeze while testing it for over a month, now
I track their progress by seeing GitHub commits…

I just want to thank you and OP help me move on from this sinking ship that is Jellyfin. Been trying to like it enough for too long.
It sucks really. I would have preferred open source projects don’t shut down. I guess it is what it is.
