  For me Jellyfin server just works and is great. But the Apple TV experience is not really great with the official (still work in progress) or the one that is often recommended but I can't remember the name for at the moment. As great as the server is, I feel like the apps are where Plex has Jellyfin beat.

    That’s why I choose to use Infuse as my Apple TV client. Plus it does local transcoding, taking that load off your server.

      I have tried Infuse but it seems to have issues with large libraries. Often not updating when I add something or just missing half my library.

  Anecdotes is not data, though. For me Plex “just works” but I’m careful not to dismiss the many comments I’m reading here about people that do have problems.

  Different people have different usage of features, where some features are worse or non-existent on Jellyfin. You’d be correct to argue that just because something is arguably better in some ways does not mean that it’s alternative doesn’t work. But people are not good at expressing themselves. I need to give Jellyfin a fair shake again. One thing I like about Plex is watching content off of my server, and then without logging out, switching to watching content on a friend’s server, on client devices like my smart TV.

  Try comparing the Jellyfin and Plex apps on Xbox, i'd like to switch to only running Jellyfin but the 3rd party device support isn't good enough. Hopefully it'll improve
