TL;DR Trickplay doesn't work for me on the Jelly Roku client when direct playing, but does work when the playback requires transcoding (or even just remuxing.)
I hadn't tried Trickplay for movies or home videos for the same reasons you mentioned - I just wouldn't use it much. After reading your message I created a "test" movie library and a "test" videos and photos library, and then copied several movies and home videos. What I've found is that Trickplay is working when there is transcoding and/or lossless repackaging happening, but Trickplay is not working when full direct play is achieved.
I'm going to look at this a bit more. If you force it to transcode, for example by setting the Jellyfin Roku player's max bitrate, then trickplay images will show - but to me that is giving up more than you gain and isn't a solution.
I'll look at it a bit more as I have time. Anyone else have a viable workaround?
