I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You're in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can't be bothered to do it themselves.

Don't ask me? I'll ftp before I'll WebUI like so, but for online viewing, I'll take streaming please. My kids, wife, and mother-in-law find that a million times more convenient.
Meanwhile, there's a dude in these comments hating on the notion that Jellyfin's app will download the Raw file for offline viewing purposes. Please, do not ask me to pretend to care what is going on in that person's head. In my world, using VLC to play my files is a perk. Gimme that yummy 2x or slow-mo as I see fit, please.
Oh no! Please GOD, anything but tHe rAw fIlE!!
Seriously though, wtf did I just read? That can't possibly be your real stance, can it?
No idea what Flatpak is, much? Jellyfin is open-source. If your distro isn't providing you a .deb or tarball to your liking, that's not on the Jellyfin project.
lemmy.world is NOT "Lemmy"
Hell, during the great reddit migration, if I recall correctly, lemmy.world had to cap sign-ups.
I mean, I'm aware of the near-infinite ways to accomplish what I've described on PC or Mac. Android or iOS are the environments I've not found a convenient way around the limitations, and sadly where I do most of my content-consumption.
Whole point of using different browsers for me is keeping things seperate. I don't sign into anything on Chrome, and all I use it for is ...
Anyways, I wish I could just have multiple installs of a browser I almost trust, but keep the various categories of cookies and logins seperate from one another.

I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.
