99% of my usage is on an Apple TV and the Jellyfin Apple TV client is just really bad. Last time I tried it didn’t even display “watched” markers and the UI looked terrible. None of the third party clients seemed decent either. The Plex client is much better (although I could do without the “suggested” sections).
The tvOS app is actively under active development, although it’s been a couple years since they’ve published a proper release. Devs routinely post updates here
A couple years between releases when the app is as bad as it is might as well be never. I’m not suffering through using an app that barely works in the hope that that some year it will improve.
If it’s good enough one day, I might switch. But for now it’s unfortunately just not good enough. It’s a shame really, because I do appreciate FOSS, but if Jellyfin is to achieve mainstream adoption, they really need a decent client on what is probably one of the most mainstream platforms in the living room.
