    What are some missing features? I’m only familiar with jellyfin

      Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.

      Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.

      Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).

        Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool

        I’ll probably keep both installed

          They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.

          I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.

          Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 but only.

          I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.

            Sure enough, that fixed it, thanks.

            What’s the deal with devs not keeping up with FDroid repos?

      Whilst some might not find it a huge deal, not being able to shuffle all episodes of a specific TV show is a deal breaker for me. I do have Jellyfin deployed and configured, ready to go for when the feature arrives. Plex feels a lot more polished as well, but I can get over that.
