Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

The client apps on Apple TV are just not good. I have tried swiftfin which is slow and I find it not very visually appealing. There there is infuse which does look better, but is missing features and requires a subscription for full functionality. If there is a app I'm missing I would be happy to try it.

I keep Jellyfin up to date and check in or it from time to time. Even have watchstate so my watched history stays updated. Hoping one day there will be a good Apple TV app and I could fully switch.

    Same boat on Swiftfin and Infuse.

    There’s one I recently found called Moonfin that does many things well. It’s my current go-to until official apps catch up.

    I hadn’t heard of Moonfin before, it looks promising as an Apple TV client. Any pitfalls with it?

    I use it on my tablet and it direct plays all of my (limited) media, and also handles and organizes downloads to the device with reencoding options. Playback is more reliable and efficient compared to Swiftfin. UI seems modeled after existing streaming services.

    They also have a plugin that “updates” your existing Jellyfin install so the features show up on the official client, but uses code injection which I didn’t like and so did not partake. The sense I get is that they push for features and implementation while official Jellyfin development takes a much more conservative approach. I hope they can work together some day.

    I'm in the same boat. Considering swapping out for a Linux based media box instead of the AppleTV.

    Kodi works well as a frontend to Jellyfin and Plex
