I tried Jellyfin and the performance for me was sooo much worse than Plex on the same system. Videos took forever to play. Also Plex is way easier for me to share with family than Jellyfin.
You can check to see if you can enable hardware transcoding. I find the delay is usually transcoding building up a buffer and if you have a good GPU/APU in your server it’s often a lot quicker.
Pretty sure on jellyfin by default that is off. Mainly because you need to install some packages to get the devices available under linux usually.
I’m not seeing any replies that are super helpful for your question - so here’s what I do: throw a Linux desktop on a Raspberry Pi, or NUC and use the TV like monitor. Get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and watch Plex through the appimage or just Firefox. Bonus, now any website that does video can be viewed on your big screen tv without dealing with any casting apps.
Easy solution. Don’t plug the tv into the internet.
Use it basically as a monitor. 🖕To the tv makers
Then how would I run my private Plex server?
Downvoted for what?
I recommend either an AppleTV to watch WEB-DL or a Nvidia Shield Pro for REMUX if you don’t have a Samsung TV; otherwise a Zidoo.
Run Jellyfin instead. I don’t know how Plex has stayed as popular as it has.
Because it’s straight better lol

If you were playing videos with subtitles on android, you might have run into the slow subtitle burn in bug.
