What features is it missing, exactly?

I have always had issues with playing high bitrate BluRay remuxes, with HDR and DTS 5.1+ audio. Granted the last time I tried JellyFin was January 2025 so it is possible this has changed. Have there been improvements on this front?

I've been using Jellyfin for roughly 5 years, most of my library are Blu-ray remuxes (50-100 GB) and I haven't had a single one fail to play. My setup is Apple TV with Infuse connected to a LG C9 with a modern Yamaha receiver.

Transcoding is a whole can of worms I chose to avoid by playing everything directly.

What's the situation on intro end ending detection and skipping?

I get the "skip intro" / "skip credits" prompts while watching on Infuse, so yes it's possible, but it's specific to only certain shows (probably those with properly-titled chapters). I'm also not sure if the prompts appear in other clients; Infuse might have implemented it from scratch using the chapter titles.

How does it compare to current Plex? Are there proper, usable apps for Apple TV and iOS already? Edit: Anyone is running Jellyfin on Qnap?

Infuse is the best I've tried so far on Apple TV. They also make a version for iOS and iPadOS.

Neptune is an up-and-coming client that looks promising.

It sounds like a real pain in the ass upgrade, I'm thankful I've put off trying Jellyfin this long.

Quite the opposite, the upgrade was completely painless for me. The only things that can trip it up are mentioned in the release notes: avoid multiple usernames that only differ in case and make sure you're upgrading from 10.10.7 or any 10.11.x.

I hate people who are demanding of open source projects but... doing performance improvements and adding comic book support before making the product secure enough to expose to the internet is wild prioritization and I don't know what else to say. Or release native clients that can use OIDC. Doing neither sucks =[.

You hate it so much that you're doing it yourself?

I left Plex for Jellyfin + Infuse a couple of years ago, and I'm not looking back. But the sore point right now is outside access, which Jellyfin really isn't made for. I set up Tailscale so I can connect Infuse to Jellyfin remotely. But that's not exactly as smooth as Plex. I can't give friends and family access, either, which was dead easy with Plex. In terms of the UX, Infuse isn't very good, but it does the job o…

Jellyfin works just fine with remote access and multiple users.

I don't trust Jellyfin to be secure enough to be put on the public Internet.

This is almost certainly a you problem. Tons of people play remuxes with Jellyfin.

I would check that your client supports the requisite codecs, and has a sufficient network connection. Or alternatively check that your server has enough horsepower (GPU or CPU) to transcode.

tailscale + cloudflare for lets encrypt support. can then give family tailscale access

I think you overestimate the technical capabilities of my family or their eagerness to install software. When I ran Plex, and nobody ever installed the Plex app like I recommended to them, even though it's one click away in all the app stores.

You should try this: https://neptuneplayer.com/

Looks good...but having to join Discord to try it is one step too many, if I have to be honest.

It's still in beta unfortunately but this is Hacker News and it's okay to share software before it hits prod. People want to be ahead of the curve and it looks promising.
