I’ve tried to use Jellyfin every year or two for the past six years to replace Plex, but it sadly just isn’t there. It’s not good in a lot of aspects, especially when it comes to full bitrate 4K HDR movies (100GB movie files), HDR tone mapping, and especially subtitles (which I always have on).
Also, I’m pretty sure on their GitHub page there’s like a huge list of some significant or moderate security vulnerabilities that have been known for many years and are never going to get fixed due to breaking compatibility with some old devices if their fixed.
Wait, Jellyfin had HDR tone mapping before Plex didn’t it?
In my case running them both side by side, Jellyfin is as least reliable and fast, which is a lot more important when I am thousands of miles away and just want to watch something.
