Yes, I use my server from outside my home quite often and don't always have wifi fast enough for 4k movies, so I have plex break it down to my bandwidth. Works like a charm. Jellyfin just refuses to work.

Jellyfin just refuses to work.

...for you.

Oh come on, it's better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying "for you" and adding nothing else to the conversation.

Seriously I'm sure they'd love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn't pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.

I added quite a bit more already in other comments. I noticed they were still acting like their bad experiences with Jellyfin were universal, and that was all I had left.

Fair enough, just saw the "if you're not an IT worker" comment haha

Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.

I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin's fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.

FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there's also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU
