I’m one of the programmers of the Jellyfin Roku client. What are some of the things you’re seeing that need polish? We’re always looking for what to work on next to make it better for users.
devs have to eat too, open source software (when fully free) is sometimes built as a hobby like Jellyfin, or as a portfolio project, or worst case scenario as a bait and switch to paid (sometimes it’s death sentence). Then there are sponsored projects like Vulkan, or others that live off of donations like Mozilla.
I always see this but I used Plex on my iPhone for months before I bought the Plex pass. I did buy the Plex app way back when and maybe that’s why but I’m also using a new Plex account so I don’t see how’d they be tied together.
I’m not sure if it is exactly the same on Iphone. But on Android you can choose to either pay for the app( a one time payment) or have Plex pass. Either way lets you watch on the mobile app.
Lol, I just finished building my JellyFin server last weekend too. Bye Plex!
I have both currently. Only reason I’ve kept Plex around is bc the jellyfin Roku and android apps need a bit of polish.

Doesn’t Plex require you to buy their premium service in order to use it on mobile devices?
I remember setting up my Plex server and was shocked that I had to pay to view my own media.

I do not pay for Plex and watch stuff on my phone all the time
Buying the premium app and Plex pass are different things. You need to buy the app to be able to watch on mobile via the app.
I use VLC for mobile to access my Plex server.
