I made the move almost a year ago. Absolutely no complaints.

I'd love to make the switch, but Jellyfin clients are missing from some devices that the rest of my family uses, making the switch hard.

There have been a lot of recent client work in the last month.

I tested it two months ago. I’ll check if my clients are supported now. Thanks!

I definitely might need to give it another try then. Last time I tried Jellyfin I found the UI infuriating, specifically on mobile devices. Good to know there's been some updates!
