For me, constant streaming hiccups, when the two were on the same physical network (Cat6 end-to-end). It may be the Apple TV Jellyfin app, but all the advice online is "re-encode your content so Jellyfin works correctly" (with everyone suggesting a different "correct" format).

Ultimately Plex "just works" for the most part, including channel information for live TV. Jellyfin is very impressive, for free.

It is just hard to sustain multiple apps across platforms, when you have little to no income to hire developers.

I have content in mkv and mp4, SDR and HDR, 264 and 265. I stream from a Jellyfin container with an onboard Intel GPU passed through for transcoding as needed. The client is a 8 series NUC on gigabit using the Flatpak Jellyfin app on a Fedora 44 install. I've yet to encounter any issues with any of my library.

Anecdotes aren't data and all that.

The Apple TV app is terrible. I use Infuse instead.
