I recently started using Kodi for my linux distro collection, but some videos look terrible in comparison to when played in VLC. See attached picture with screengrabs from VLC and Kodi of the same frame in an MKV 1080p h.265 file. What could be the issue? I didn’t change any video settings in either

    So why is Plex still considered over Jellyfin when the feature parity is almost equal to Plex.

    Because it’s not. I say this as somebody who would love to go all in on Jellyfin

        Jellyfin has:

        A dedicated music app?
        Music filtering/smart playlists? Sonic analysis?
        Good 4k/x265 performance?
        Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?
        Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
        Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
        Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
        Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?

          Dedicated music app: Not 1st party. But there are projects like Finamp and Gelli
          Music filtering? Not that I am aware of. Just basic functionality
          Sonic analysis? No. Sounds like a very specific use case
          4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.
          Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though
          Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.
          Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV
          Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)
          Native DVR? Yes but I can’t really gauge how good it works.

            Ok

            Music filtering? Not that I am aware of. Just basic functionality

            That’s something people use fairly frequently (generate a music playlist from all albums with “Christmas” in the title)

            Sonic analysis? No. Sounds like a very specific use case

            It’s not; I’m guessing you don’t know what it is so hand waved it away as something people don’t use.

            4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.

            Nope; how is the 4k and x265 playback experience.

            Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though

            That’s not great.

            Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.

            I have that with a 3rd party utility with Plex.

            Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV

            Great

            Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)

            What about Samsung TVs? Roku? AppleTV? Firestick? TIZEN?

            Native DVR? Yes but I can’t really gauge how good it works.

        Jellyfin is great but it’s nowhere near feature parity with plex. I run them side by side. Jellyfin for my personal local playback and plex for everything else.

        I’ll switch over eventually but for now, for someone with over 110tb of content and over a dozen remote streaming clients there is nothing better than plex.

        It’s been trash previously, but became fully usable in the past 2 years or so. Still has a lot of playback issues, but works in most cases.
