While I love Jellyfin its clients always leave something to be desired
Be it thumbnail scrubbing which only works with a plugin but doesn’t work on Android TV while Emby implements that flawlessly or intro skipping which suffers from the same issues as scrubbing and although I’ve yet to try intro skipping in Emby, I’ve read that it works perfectly.
I’ve tried Emby for a few hours and it really does seem better than Jellyfin
The only downside I could find is that switching between users in Android TV always asks me for their password which is quite annoying but it is to my understanding that it will be addressed in 4.8 (could be wrong)

So with that being said, should I know anything before making the switch? Perhaps I’m making a mistake and should be more patient with Jellyfin’s development?

    I’ve been running Emby for around 8 years now and have been extremely happy with it. Development isn’t exactly lightning quick, but the developers do listen to their community and eventually work in their popular requests.

    That was very different from Plex, where I had started.

    And yes, there’s a pretty significant revamp to the login system across all apps comming with server version 4.8.
