If you haven't seen it yet, we recently made the announcement that starting July 1, 2026, the price of "Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads)" will increase to $0.00 USD*. There has been a lot of enthusiasm regarding charge backs, and we're simply blown away by the community's response.
As we've had a high volume of inquiries, I'd ask if you could please wait until I'm off the support email shift to reach out about this issue. I've attached our schedule so you'll know when it is safe to reach out.
Thanks, and happy streaming!

Is it any better on a streaming box? Most smart TVs are slow as shit at everything. I have an LG and haven't even bothered with the smart functions. If I made decisions, smart TVs would be best effort, always.
I don't know what a streaming box is exactly but,
I don't think that's an excuse when all you need to do is show some pictures and text on screen, not even animate them. The video playing part works great, and streaming at UHD HDR 5.1 works fine. It's just the navigation part that Plex doesn't do well.
And like I said, it's even less of an excuse when Jellyfin doesn't have the same issue on the same hardware.
Another indication that Plex is doing something shitty is that the TVs own screensaver frame rate stutters when Plex is the open application. But not with any other app. So Plex clearly has some kind of working loop in the background that completely fucks its performance.
Welp, it's a good thing Jellyfin works for you.
Definitely happy about that. Feels great to be free of "using the free tier" and to instead be using a completely free solution.
