It is hard to beat the polish that Plex has. I setup Jellyfin to try it out and I couldn't find a client that was smooth or had the polish of the Plex apps. The AppleTV app was close but then I go down the rabbit hole of codec support. Wanted to like Jellyfin but without a nice looking front end it was a non-starter for me. Good news is you can have the side by side and if a time comes it gets parity with Plex I will be happy to change over.
- JamesSwift 10mo agoYes, my biggest current gripe is that infuse is a much better client than the first-party app. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it even if it lacks some polish of Plex.
- watermelon0 10mo agoI think that Infuse has better codec support than any other Apple TV (and possible also macOS) app.
- JamesSwift 10mo agoYeah thats exactly why Im on it. The frontend is fine, maybe a wash compared to Swiftfin last time I tried it out. But for my library, I had frequent issues with codec support on native client vs 0 times on Infuse.
- crtasm 10mo agoIs the Plex app somehow able to play codecs on a AppleTV that Jellyfin's app can't?

- Tallain 10mo agoWhen I looked for a Plex alternative I settled on Emby. It still has some "premium" features but they're all just QOL, not necessary things. The base app is great and even has handy little features Plex doesn't, and so far, it runs on all the same devices with a much snappier UX on the client side.
