      Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

      Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

      Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

      Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

      The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

      When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.


      I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

      And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

        I haven’t really had any of these issues. Those would certainly be enough to push me away. I know I was having somewhat similar issues with consuming the content before enabling hardware acceleration. I haven’t tried changing audio tracks so idk there. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a bad time
