I'm very happy with Jellyfin. I built my entire collection in it.

Subtitles were mostly not working for me in Jellyfin, which makes it not very usable as a Plex replacement for us (Android TV client).

I wasn't overly pleased with the seeking either, but I could definitely live with that if subs worked, as the rest was quite nice indeed.

Yeah, seeking is still a bit flaky. But subtitles work great for me, at least when using the Web and Roku clients. I got a better experience in some corner cases on the Roku client by making sure that the filenames ended with ".en.srt" so Jellyfin correctly associates them with the English language.

Ah, my subs are mostly embedded, IIRC that's what Jellyfin has issues with.

Embedded subs worked for me in Android TV after going into the app's settings and changing the "Preferred media player" to "LibVLC (experimental)".
