Great Bot!

I was going to comment this, that’s so cute.

Server wise they are practically identical, but the AndroidTV app of jellyfin lags behind quite a bit, the media player is bad, it doesn’t handle well changing subtitles, moving the clip forward and backward… Some of these are fixed by using an external video player, but weirdly enough there have been some movie formats that jellyfin couldn’t handle (the TV app) and emby did.

I just wish that the TV app were identical to the android app with remote functionality, but I’m no android dev so I’ll stay put and wait.

Sure thing. I had some issues with jellyfin transpiling some series, the Android TV app was unable to skip forward for example, and sometimes it stopped reproducing (WiFi issues, sure but they didn’t happen with emby). I only had to pay like 5€ total for the android app, and the server is completely free. I would switch to jellyfin if their streaming app / service were as good, but beiing the only one in the household that cares, having already paid the single payment to emby and being the one that has to fix issues on movie night while my partner is side eyeing me for changing shit again, I won’t bother for a good while (^_^')

Try emby, much better than jellyfin for me. I had an issue that jellyfin wasn’t able to reproduce some of the series that I was watching, or it had severe issues. I had zero issues with emby.

I downloaded the free emby server for my pc and paid the single payment 4€ for the android tv app. No regrets, works great.
