    Well the app for apple tv doesn’t even let you turn subtitles on or off. It’s honestly totally useless so I don’t use it. I like that it’s FOSS but you can’t change any playback options. Kodi also isn’t available on apple tv unless you do some hacky shit which I’m not that interested in doing since plex is working fine. I would love nothing more than to ditch plex for jellyfin. But I’ll wait until it’s a little more fully baked

      True, the native app for Android TV also has some issues with certain audio codecs although I believe it does have subtitle selection. I had the luxury of being able to choose a TV specifically for gaming as well as Jellyfin so getting one with android TV was a nobrainer and I am happily using Kodi now. Let’s hope the native apps mature enough to make them feasible alternatives :)

        Yes, I think it will make it there, but it’s awful slow going. I’ve had Jellyfin set up for months and I still can’t use it. Plex for my use case is free anyway so I don’t mind sticking around with plex until jellyfin works out the rough edges.

        Case in point, the jellyfin for appletv, aka Swiftfin, hasn’t had a release in over a year
