I migrated to Jellyfin from Plex several months ago and I’ve been struggling to get a good experience on my my Apple TV which is where I watch most of my content. I’ve been using the native Swiftfin app and I’m sorry but it’s awful. Lots of serious usability issues and there hasn’t been a release in over 4 months. I can’t anymore with it.

Gave infuse a try and it seems a lot more polished but it’s a subscription model and I don’t do software subscriptions, especially for something that’s accessing my local data. Not opposed to buying outright but it’s a bit steep at $94. I’ll gladly spend that if it’s worth it, but has anyone noticed any serious issues with Infuse that should make me steer away?

It works, but not well enough on Apple TV. Autoplay doesn’t always work, the navigation is clunky, and having to always toggle different player/modes to get things to only sometimes work is not ideal for kids. The Plex app is mpv based and has worked with everything I’ve thrown at it so it’s the better free solution.
