I would like the drugs you’re on, plz.

The server is a joke, most of the “functionality” is half/baked or outright broken.

The “native” clients are laughably bad. Most of them cannot pass-through audio to receivers reliably.

I really want Jellyfin to succeed, but it’s an incredibly long way from replacing the long-time dumpster fire that is Plex.

The only real issue I've seen with Jellyfin has been some stuttering on older clients (specifically, very old and crappy webOS TVs). I'm not sure whether this is a weak hardware problem, a network problem, or something else. Other than that, it's been very smooth.

(Context: I was a Plex user and self-hoster for about 7 years, and switched to self-hosted Jellyfin about 2 years ago.)

You created a throwaway account just to trash Jellyfin? I'm not sure if I should be impressed or appalled.
