    Is there a jellyfin app on the Xbox? The ps5? Roku TV app store?

    I think no so it’s hard to switch if you have family using many different devices to watch plex.

      Roku, yes. Xbox as well. PS5 no, but not for lack of trying. That’s apparently on Sony.

          That’s unfortunate to hear. Jellyfin does definitely suffer the from the problem of not having a teams developing apps under a unified banner. You can make your own, provided you’re determined enough, but guidance from the core Jellyfin team is not to be expected.

      No, No, and Yes – Consoles are notoriously difficult to work with. Not for actual programming, no - Consoles are difficult to navigate POLITICALLY. Xbox, understandably doesn’t like F/OSS software, and PS5 has tons of rules and regulations you must meet.

      The UI for the Xbox app is rudimentary and a bit janky, but the performance is undeniably better than Plex. I have Plex and Jellyfin on the same machine, serving the same content, and Plex stutters often. It is especially bad when using subtitles. Jellyfin has no such issues.
