This a bug or expected behaviour? - roadhazard - 2025-09-26
Two observations while testing Jellyfin;
- On my Nvidia Shield, I switched the layout to vertical. As I was scrolling, I could only get back to the top right menu (to turn on the A-Z jump bar) by going ALL the way up.... or hitting the back button and going out to the main menu then back in (which isn't very efficient). When the layout is horizontal, no matter how deep you are into scrolling, you can simply push up on the remote to get to that menu. When scrolling vertically, I need to hold down the UP button on my remote until I get back to the top menu.
- If I use the jump bar and select the letter 'S', I can ONLY see movies that start with that letter. Once I reach the end, it just stops, there is no continuous scrolling to take me into movies that start with the letter 'T'.
I LOVE how fast Jellyfin is at starting playback and it seems like a very lean version of Plex (which is great!) but along with those 2 issues, I opened 2 feature requests that can hopefully get addressed in the future;
- An option to have a permanent, on-screen A-Z jump bar (like Plex and Emby have) ... that can be easily accessed when scrolling vertically and
- When fast-forwarding, have play back resume as soon as we let up on the ff button. Having to click OK to resume playback is an unnecessary step IMHO.
I'd love to dump Plex but before my family switches, these are the biggest gripes my wife and kids have.
