Seems like a lot of effort when Plex just works unfortunately.
Also seems like a simple warning on the security risks of using the VLC player might suffice (and users can flip back and forth as necessary), instead of rendering Jellyfin pretty useless to the masses IMO
Except plex doesn't support .strm files, which I use for a good portion of my media.
I've got hopes that the playback rewrite is going to help solve a lot of issues that 0.17 introduced for a lot of people. I was messing around and made a debug apk of the 0.17.z release, and in the developer options there you could enable the playback rewrite. It helped with playing some media that on the stable release wouldn't, but it still transcoded it. No osd, no subtitles, no nothing except the video playing on the screen, so it's currently rough around the edges but is promising.
With that being said I do wish that 0.17 would have been pushed back until the playback rewrite was further along in its development. Hell I feel that the entire 10.9.x releases have felt a bit rushed, and a lot of the fixes to certain areas also break previously working features. But that's the cost of using open source projects, and I'm totally fine with that, as I'd rather have people willing to volunteer their time developing the project than it going stale and dying out.
