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.
Agree with the search load times, and the TV app is a little frustrating to navigate. But I don’t see that as enshittification, just lacking polish.
As for the suggestions, I know you mentioned you don’t Plex anymore, but leaving this here just in case it helps: Settings --> online media sources --> disable everything. You’ll have to save each setting though, it’s annoying design. But once I did this I didn’t see any of that crap on my app.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I actually do still use it, my comment was just more toward the changes they’ve made and my perceived inability to remove or change it.
