    I switched over to Jellyfin about a month ago. Plex had just gotten too bloated and for me the performance had been getting worse for awhile. Jellyfin feels like the Plex of years past. No nonsense and works really well.

      How’s the android app and casting to Chromecast? If you know… I struggle the most with casting and controlling casted material as well as scrubbing while casting.

        it’s not brilliant but then nothing really is. you just get used to it’s little quirks.

        if you want something that just works use a UPnP media server with VLC

          Thanks for the reply. I have used VLC forever and here and there for casting. Mostly it’s my parents using Plex that I’m trying to simplify for them. Not sure if jellyfin would help them lol
