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?

Have had the same issues, so following for answers.

My best free solution at the moment is to just use the Plex app on Apple TV.

Swiftfin is the best free option on Apple TV. It's not perfect but works well enough.

It doesn’t work well enough.

on deck shows things at random. Shows that haven’t been watched/updated in years showing at the top of the list for no reason. It’s different every time the app is launched.
doesn’t automatically refresh. Several shows may have been updated/new episodes added while the app is in the background and they don’t show up unless I force quit and relaunch
watched flag on episodes not visible when viewing list of episodes. I have no idea what episode I’m up to without clicking into each one.
now for some reason it doesn’t save my server info and I have to re-enter/log in every single time.

If it weren’t for these bugs I’d be fine with it.
