Does Jellyfin have good skip intro functionality for TV shows? That was the main thing keeping me from switching last time I considered a couple years ago
Yes, Intro Skipper plugin. It's awesome.
There’s an extension/plugin that you can install for that. I have been meaning to do that, but I keep forgetting, so I can’t say how good it is.
It’s this sort of fiddly stuff that gives me pause with Jellyfin. And the fact that people say their apps aren’t that good.
I’m not the sort of nerd who wants to fiddle with plugins or hook my laptop up to every TV in the house.
But I’ll give it a try just to see.
Jellyfin did some work on integrating the Skip Intros plugin a lot better, AFAIK you just have to enable it once on your server and then once in the settings of all Jellyfin web players.
As for apps, there are some good native third party apps which I mentioned here.

That $75 Lifetime Plex Pass is looking like a good decision by past me.

Deceptive title. If the person hosting the server has Plex pass then it's still free for other users to use remote playback.
How is it deceptive? No plex pass on the server? No remote streaming.

So Plex just killed itself? Got it. Lmao bye Felicia nobody's paying the middleman for shit they are hosting on their OWN FUCKING HARDWARE.
These seem like reasonable changes
They are updating the app at some point, which is removing the watch together feature. I wonder what else may disappear.
That blows. I just use the Plex app on my TV for free streaming channels. 24/7 Top Gear reruns FTW!

Well, that's Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly "still there".
No more.
