    Jellyfins pretty great. It’s much simpler than Plex and has quite a few less features, but it does what it does really well

        Iirc Plex supports transcoding for downloads, while Jellyfin only allows downloading the original file. But I’ve heard transcoding downloads is broken on Plex, so ymmv.

        Intro skip is only available as a plugin on Jellyfin.

        Also, Findroid has a better ui and supports downloads, while the official app has more features (ie. settings/admin panel).

          Didn’t know about findroid, looks cool

          I’ll probably keep both installed

            They have both good usecases. I have findroid installed on my families devices since all they need is just playing media. It is great for that.

            I myself have both because I can administrate the server from my phone via the official app. I also use mostly findroid for watching my media.

            Thats because if you get it from f-droid, it is on Izzy’s repo and there only the 32 bit version is available. The Pixel 7 is 64 bit only.

            I have the same issue, solved it by using obtainium and getting the package directly from their github.
