    I hope this brings more platform maturity and adoption of jellyfin. Tried it like a year ago and was really unhappy with subtitles and overall accessibility.

    I’ve had lifetime plex for a long time and it’s been worth it for a thing that still mostly just works and is not an app I need to side load or jailbreak, I want jellyfin to have that and beat out plex - it wouldn’t be hard.

    This $750 nonsense just sounds like a cash grab because they are losing market share though. I remember hellgate london’s lifetime sub.

      This isn’t the move you pull if you’re losing market share. This is the move you pull when you’ve got a big enough market share.

      Can’t speak to whatever else you may have experienced, but subtitles have seen significant improvement over the last year or so.

        If I remember with subtitles there wasn’t a way to source them in the app or swap to ones that might have different timings unless you downloaded them yourself manually. Did that change or am I remembering wrong?

        My subtitles are awesome. Except on Roku, the official Jellyfin app is lacking. But Jellyrock is pretty great.
