That's great if you have a Roku or Shield. I don't. I've owned both in the past and don't want either because they're both an absolute mess of advertising. I currently have an Apple TV and an Android tablet. Jellyfin is okay on Android (and I emphasize okay and not amazing or great), but the Apple TV is may main viewing device and Swiftfin is the best option and still miles behind Plex.
Particularly because on Apple TV with Plex you can override built in subs with the closed caption styles, meaning literally all subs that aren't explicitly burned into the image can be made consistent and easy to read. Haven't seen that feature anywhere else, including on the Shield TV/Pro (I used to own one, got rid of it when Android TV updated to the ad-riddled version it is today). It's a really amazing feature IMO to be able to have full control of subtitle font, size, style, color, outline, and spacing, no matter what you're watching.
