I hope this doesn’t mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?
Does Jellyfin have:
A dedicated music app?
Music filtering/smart playlists?
Sonic analysis for music?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
Built in two factor authentication?
You’re mileage is going to vary based on if you’re running off the server’s web interface or from a client. The Roku client has made some amazing improvements and I’m thankful for those devs, but it’s still behind the Android version in terms of features.
For music on Android, as an example, Gelli, Finamp, and Fintunes are all music focused clients.
Lastly, you can run both Plex and Jellyfin off the same library. Give it a try, see how you like it without giving up Plex. I ran them in tandem for about six months because making the jump.

Any features in particular you find yourself missing?
For context, I run Jellyfin on a box at home that serves 3 Rokus and a family of 4. I also run Jellyfin at work, a small school, where it feeds 18 Rokus in wide variety of use cases.
There are two features on my wishlist that are available on Android but not yet Roku.
The first would be the ability to shuffle a playlist. I loved that shuffle was added episodes a while back.
Don’t shame me for wanting to watch things in a random order. /s
The second would be the ability to search for subtitles. I love the new subtitles interface. It would be the cherry on top to be able to search for a missing subtitle without bouncing over to a separate devices.
I know that’s a whole other kind of request, given the use of the open subtitles plugin.
Thank you for all you do!
