Critical functionality like what? I just switched to Jellyfin and hardly noticed a difference aside from a few different bugs.

Remote play…..

Library sharing…,,

Apps on everything….

You can do all that on JF. Apps are def available on most things.

If you really wanted to try to complain about it, you should complain about security, search speed and subtitle support.

Remote play you can't unless you want to open your network up to the internet, which is a terrible idea, and even then most TVs and devices don't have a JellyFin app.

Remote play you can’t unless you want to open your network up to the internet,

That's absolutely wrong. You can remote proxy the same way they do, sure to the edge. you can open just the port and sandbox the container. There are ways.

and even then most TVs and devices don’t have a JellyFin app.

Almost every streaming device outside of TV's are covered and many tv's already support it. Every roku and android tv support it, along with most samsungs.

Tell me, are you guys getting paid by a plex PR firm or something, you all feel lots of ways about things with very little information and tons of white lies.
