My main use case is that I watch a lot of tv shows, often while I am in bed going to sleep.
So I want the episodes to be labeled correctly in sequence, like season number and episode number. I want those numbers to be displayed correctly when I navigate episodes. When I pause it’ll stop the app, I want the correct season and episode to show up in the “Continue watching” list. And I want auto play to continue playing the next episode after the current episode completes.
I have found both emby and jellyfin to have issues with the above items.
Currently I’m running both. I find myself moving back to emby more often as it seems to handle the above cases better.
Oh yeah, you're the person who asked to have the season and episode number added to the OSD. I completed that update and am waiting for the PR to be reviewed and merged.
I'm also a big TV show watcher. All the things you mentioned I've had no issue with in the Roku client.
My first question would be if your server properly identified the episodes. That process is driven by the file names. Does your naming scheme follow the suggested format? https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/
Yes.
For some files it will not automatically play the next episode. Which sometimes also happens in emby.
I suspect this is due to some kind of issue handling file formats, or badly formatted or corrupt files. In emby I can hit the pause button and then right arrow to >| which will then play the next episode. There is some more convoluted way of doing that in jellyfin. Also in jellyfin I see in the continue watching list like s02e02 and s02e04, of the same show. Obviously I don’t want to continue watching e02 if im already on e04.
