I’ve never had any issues with jellyfin. Maybe your use case is outside of what it’s for, but for watching series and movies it worked with everything I could throw at it for me.
- abenga 3y agoSomehow my Jellyfin Android TV app became incompatible with the server application on my home PC and I can no longer watch videos, so had to head back to Plex or Kodi+NFS mounts.
- compsciphd 3y agoyou've most likely never tried to view subtitles. It's well known that its subtitle support isn't so good (to put it lightly). It seems to be unable to stream subtitles out of an MKV itself and has to extract them and send them separately. (or at least thats what it seems like from observation).
- thendrill 3y agoSame here. Jellyfin is good aslong as the content is not HDR and needs subtitles.... Also the chromecast support is very non-wife friendly
- danparsonson 3y agoI use subtitles all the time and they work really well for me - both embedded and separate files. I'm streaming from an SSD though, maybe that makes a difference?
- kuschku 3y agoJellyfin works perfectly fine with subtitles. But if you use ASS subtitles, which are entirely unspecified and unsupported and only have a single working implementation that requires half of Wine to work correctly, well, then you're fucked.
- cpburns2009 3y agoThe only problem with subtitles I've encountered is the Roku Jellyfin client does not support VOBSUB subtitles which is annoying.
- toxicunderGroov 3y agoKodi -> jellyfin -> a4k subtitles addon. Never transcodes Works on Android devices like the shield or libreelec on something like a pi. Those native Android apps, be it jellyfin or plex dont handle subtitles wel, be it .srt or .ass
