Ahoy mateys, it's time to setup Jellyfin if you prefer not to pay for the privilege of self-hosting your own content.

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

that is the most basic list of features… if something implemented only that list id consider it an alpha

the thing im waiting on to switch is skip buttons on intro/outro/etc across all platforms i care about

    it does not have that on apple tv, thus it does not have that on all platforms that i care about - in fact, that’s the main, if not only platform that i really care about

    heck, it doesn’t have skip buttons on any platform: it places chapter markers, which is a great implementation!… if they also added metadata that showed a button overlay for “special” chapters like this as well updated and checked again - they do add buttons now, but still not on tvos

    all of this is fine, and i’m sure they’ll get there but it’s disingenuous to say that everything is at feature parity with plex
