    When you say “hardware encoding”, are you talking about using your GPU for stuff like transcoding when streaming to devices?

    I ask because I actively disable all transcoding because I run jellyfin off my laptop and don’t wanna overwork it so to speak. I just assumed it was using the GPU.

      Yes, I use my server from outside my home quite often and don’t always have wifi fast enough for 4k movies, so I have plex break it down to my bandwidth. Works like a charm. Jellyfin just refuses to work.

          Oh come on, it’s better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying “for you” and adding nothing else to the conversation.

          Seriously I’m sure they’d love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn’t pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.

            I added quite a bit more already in other comments. I noticed they were still acting like their bad experiences with Jellyfin were universal, and that was all I had left.
