1. Smaller files play fine but bigger ones just stutter/get stuck every 10-20s for a few seconds.continue to stop working, has a tendency to freeze and skip, play with no sound or not work at all when starting a movie or show quite disappointed even screaming through my phone to the TV it freezes or doesn't work app on the TV does not give me the option to select language prior to starting a stream and freezesI used to use Plex until about 6 months ago when they started pushing things on my main screen that I didn't want and there was no way of disabling.

2. The 'All Items' screen is awkward to get to by default, and having it scroll horizontally instead of vertically is even more awkward.Was working then it started crashing everytime when I closed it and tried to open it on my TV however, previews opened fine but required passwords everytime ( that sucks), then I decided to do a reinstall, (10.1), couldn't add the server there as it crashed as soon as I finished.

3. if you go back to jellyfin, it will not be marked as watched.Unfortunatly for me, there seems to be playback issues for .mkv files larger than 10GB on my Jellyfin app for Android TV (on Nvidia Shield Pro).

4. And for a server that allows you to host on your own network without phoning home!I love Jellyfin but the Android TV app is kind of a disaster.

5. Cannot be my network, have tried on different networks.It will play the video twice if you use your default external player.

6. If they tidied up the Next Up bit to define an order it would be perfect for me.Love Jellyfin, but the Android TV app is just too buggy and frustrating to use.

7. I really liked jellyfin, but I had too many technical issues and I just don't have time to troubleshoot them all.

8. Pause for long enough that the screen saver comes on and it completely forgets where you're up to and you're forced to fast-forward from the start of a movie.So fast! It opens super quickly and is good looking.

9. after show ended, it will play the video again using default player.

10. I came across Jellyfin and although it's not perfect yet the constant improvement to the product is reflected in my rating.

11. Monitoring the logs on the server shows the client is not even attempting to connect at all.
