First launched during the height of Covid, Plex’s Watch Together feature won’t make the cut for the streamer’s revamped mobile and TV apps.

Jellyfin is love, Jellyfin is life.

It’s bad. But it’s the best we’ve got.

Speak for yourself, Jellyfin has been awesome for me. Fantastic piece of software.

Extremely slow and clunky UI on Android. Music has no star rating as every other software including Plex and Navidrome has. It sometimes starts transcoding for no apparent reason.

Not perfect but the best we’ve got.

Jellyfin is the sever bro. You can implement your own client and choose from a pretty decent variety of clients on Android and most platforms. Only Android TV really suffers from required first party support, but the api is documented and we encourage you to make your own or port it to whatever front end you’d like.

Why are there official clients then? Better not to provide any client at all than bad clients based on the web UI.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of open source. This is something someone made for the community out of the goodness of their heart and a desire to create. You can build on top of it or use it as a base and completely remake it if you want, but they’re not making money off this… So your attitude towards them and what they’re offering to everyone for free is honestly quite rude and entitled.

I understand the purpose of open-source. I can voice my opinion and say the software isn’t good in some ways. The developer should be able to handle criticism.
