Wow, I REALLY don’t like the Plex beta on the Apple TV. 😮‍💨

Update: I don’t like it on iOS either.

My libraries are buried, switching between them sucks, and instead of seek controls on TV episode playback, we get skip controls‽ FOH

Either Plex is not serving me anymore (likely) or this is an extremely early look at something that’s malleable (maybe) or it’s just trash and nobody has told them yet (unlikely).

@caseyliss it seems to me that Plex is on a downward slope, and Jellyfin is on an upward slope.

Jellyfin is still WELL behind Plex imo, but unless Plex changes their strategy (which they won’t, because FAST channels and VC money), it’s only a matter of time before Jellyfin becomes the better product

@njf I tried Jellyfin roughly a year ago and was deeply unimpressed. Perhaps there's been major strides since then though.

@caseyliss there hasn’t. My point is only that I see Plex continuing to decline, until eventually they do something stupid enough that makes them worse than Jellyfin. And I hope that Jellyfin continues to get better, because I think it could be something really great

@caseyliss @njf Emby is much better, imho
