Honestly the clients for Plex are trash though. We had SO many issues with Plex and have almost none with Jellyfin. The only thing is Plex is a few more features than Jellyfin (one that comes to mind is an easy way to search for open subtitles to for a show without them hard-coded)

Agreed, the only issues I've had with Jellyfin (other than the lack of available clients), is always server-side.

Which clients do you see missing, though?

I think this might have been the case when Jellyfin originally forked from Emby, but not so much today.

There's STILL not a great option for AppleTV. I bit the bullet years ago and have a lifetime infuse option. But that's not really any different than how I paid (also years ago) for a lifetime Plex Pass too.

There is no official support for LG TVs running WebOS 5 or older (which is pretty much any one made before like 2021 or 2022, mine is from 2018), you can add in one if you root the TV, but even in that case it's just a wrapper for the web UI. When Plex forced me to drop them (I had just moved everything to Hetzner), I lost a few users as well since they didn't have clients available for their older TVs. Of course this can easily be remedied by using a streaming stick/STB but the problem still exists.

I believe from last time I checked that it was more an issue of LG not approving the app to be listed rather than it not being available. It being a wrapper makes sense too on the older webOS apps as it's basically a PWA with some JS libs to interact with the TV.

I got a chrome cast because nordvpn didn't have an LG app and the jellyfin client works great on that. Still annoying it's not baked in though.

Yeah, it exists, but it's not like the one for version 6, which is a native app.
