Apparently the 0.18 client should fix a lot, and should be available on google-tv any day now, can’t wait!
I feel there are a lot of basic usage issues (tracking which movie/episode has been seen!) that should be fixed first before moving on to fancy issues…
Can’t wait for the 0.18 client to be here, should (and better will) fix a lot
Apparently 0.18 client fixes a boat load of these issues, but I’ll look into your clients.
Kodi is what you run on your raspberries?
As per other user replies: the 0.18 client should fix most of that. Yay!!
Apparently the 0.18 client fixes loads of subtitle issues?
Oh holy crap, you have no idea how happy I am to hear this.
I already signed up for beta access, haven’t gotten it yet, but hopefully tomorrow.
So yeah, trickplay doesn’t work at all either on browser or google-tv versions. Would be amazing if that worked!
Other issues? What drives me (and my wife!!) absolutely crazy is that jellyfin is absolutely “stupid” when it comes to remembering what we watched. Basically, it just makes up random nonsense. I’m in a show right now that has 6 seasons, watching S5E5. If we continue watching, S5E6 follows. Great! What do I see on the dashboard? S5E11. For a long time while in S4, it would always show random S6 episodes. We currently track our episode on a piece of paper I kid you not. It always says I already saw all episodes of a new season even though I never have. I never understand this, I’m a developer myself and THIS part cannot be that hard to get reasonably right, but apparently it is Just track in the DB which file has been shown, and until what timestamp, how hard can that be? I mean, there are MUCH more complicated things, like trickplay
Other issues… Selecting the correct language for both audio and subtitles! So for some reason, jellyfin always manages to select the exact wrong on both, even though in config I have english, english, english. Would be very nice if it were fixed.
Other issues… So hardware decoding worked at last install. I was on Ubuntu 24.04, used an installed version with .DEB. I upgraded to 24.10 which for some reason was not supported (only LTS is supported) so I needed to switch to docker out of necessity. Did that, and now hardware support doesn’t work anymore. It’s not a huge issue as my home server is a beast, but since I have a good video card, it would have been nice that it would. I checked logs, and I cannot find any actual reason why it failed, logs just say that it does. It would be nice, perhaps, if there is some test feature that can debug the hardware decoding and show in log what part exactly is failing.
Other… Loads of times, if I have a dvd or blueray rip, it’ll work fine in VLC, but absoultey not in jellyfin. Haven’t found a fix for that yet.
Other… Auto subtitle download doesn’t ever seem to work as far as I can see. I have a paid opensubtitle subscription, yet all movies and shows that are missing subtitles will only ever have it if I manually add them.
Other… On google tv client I cannot search by category! I can on the web client and on my mobile phone, but not on google-tv. This means I have to use my mobile phone to kind of go through the movies of a category, then find it on the TV which is weird and annoying. Would be a VERY nice one to have fixed.
I hope the devs will focus first on the basics. I don’t even care about fancies like dolby surround or anything like that as I don’t have the hardware for that (yet), I just want to watch video and be able to easily fix things where needed. Even trick play (while super nice if it would work!) is a luxury as far as I’m concerned, just make sure the basics work. Things like easy subtitle timing adjustment on google-tv would be much, much higher on my personal list.
Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to yell at the devs, I know its an open source project and I would even happily donate to help out. I’m not arrrrrring because of money, I just really hate how all good movies and shows have disappeared from Netflix and the such. I’d pay 3-4 times the monthly subscription if it would mean I could see EVERYTHING, but nooooo, they just had to carve everything up again to try and maximize profit and have the ability to screw over the end user. I have invested significantly in my current setup to just be able to what what I want, when I want. Netflix didn’t want my money, so jellyfin shall have it.
Awesome work, Jellyfin devs!
I’m guessing that rightwingers prefer this study.to be done on teenagers directly, making a steroid pumped teenager nightclub camp
Hey, research is research
At this point, of cours ehe should
People will rightfully call him out and then forget about it by tomorrow when trump says something stupid.
Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine
Well either this fixes it or I’ll have to switch to a different client. If that won’t fix it, I’ll have to drop jellyfin altogether because at this point Jellyfin is little more than a web viewer on my computer (the only place where subtitles work semi reliable) and for that I can just use VLC anyway.
Also, how are your subtitles provided? Are they encoded into the video files themselves, are they separate .srt files, or are they being parsed from somewhere.
All of it. I have movies with srt files, encoded in the videos, ASS files, basically all of it, none of it works reliably
Yeah I don’t have a raspberry computer to connect to my TV, but if thats the only way it will work…
Do these raspberries have remote controls?
Ah, yes! Do NOT touch jellyfin while watching something with subtitles. You’ll have to start watching at time index 0 again, or it will simply not work.
With subtitles working this badly, is it perhaps possible that the devs focus a bit on this? Subtitles is literally step 3, after step 1 basic video, step 2 basic audio…

Awesome username!
This behavior literally hurts your cause. If you’d listen for a second to the Maga guys, yes, you’d hear more than enough of them tell you they went full Maga because they were fed up with the political correctness and immediate judgement and execution of the likes of you.
In case you haven’t noticed: Maga is in charge now of the US. If you’re a US citizen then thank you for screwing all of us over with your stubborn “BUT IM RIGHT” which now will fuck over the entire world.
Just stop being a dick, let people make mistakes, let people have different opinions. This guy is t Hitler, he isn’t saying death to Palestine, HE WENT TO A BEACH FFS.
What a sad little person you are that you have to virtue signal everything just to feel loved.
I am trying to have a conversation about how we maybe should stop trying to destroy people because of small mistakes and you want to boycott me.
Thanks for being a perfect example of how small and pathetic you people are
That I’m an abuser because I don’t agree with you?
Great point
Yeah, this… Stop haggling with words, actually do something to fix it
Yes, Biden made a bad decision
However
Trump pardoned all his friends and heavy criminals before, nobody gave a damn. He said he’d pardon all those in the January 6 coup , and he would pardon himself.
Biden did the right thing, not only for his family, because of course, but also to start this debate. Hopefully we can stop presidential pardons before trump gets in. Not that it will matter, trump will just do whatever the fuck he wants
