Jellyfin is not just good... but better than Plex now?! (vger.social)

I've feel like I've used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it's going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it's substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I'm impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

I'm not sure. I've only noticed it on my TV and have even noticed it with content that I personally ripped from DVDs or Blurays and encoded to x265 or AV1. Since it only affects the TV apps I'm wondering if it isn't a lack of support for some color space or something by the TV hardware because when I'm encoding I don't usually change anything about the dimensions, color space, frame-rate, etc., just the codec and quality. If the video is 10 bit, I encode it as 10 bit. If it's HDR, I pass that thru. I've checked with the mobile and desktop app and the web player on content the TVs had issues with and those same files played fine everywhere else, so it's something specific to the LG and Roku apps for Plex.
