The Jellyfin user experience would be a ton better if the client app for the iphone/ipad actually took advantage of local playback instead of relying on transcoding. Random seeks, rewinds, and especially subtitles timing are all better if the client is just accessing a file stream. This is especially true as the codecs change and the on-NAS GPUs fall behind due to the lifecycle differences.

iphone/ipad would be a ton better if you could install kodi on it.

Can you not disable transcoding on the iOS version of Jellyfin?

Run the Infuse client and point it to your Jellyfin instance.

SwiftFin seems to do the job, but this is also a good suggestion.

Are you using SwiftFin? It is much better than the standard Jellyfin iOS app, I’ve never had any problems with it.

Shoutout to the FinAmp app for music, too.

This is awesome, no, I was not. Excellent suggestion.
