Yes, I understand this, but again, it's something related to old TVs, I won't have such issues with codecs and containers, when I was using DLNA for different videos files I had no issues.

Again, what's the point of having it enabled if I know that my devices can handle it?
I want Jellyfin instead of miniDLNA to remember video positions in case I want to continue playing on another device — that's the main reason. And of course meta data, thumbnails, etc., though Nova Player can do it as well, but for each client separately of course, not a server.
It seems I can still notice slight stuttering in Jellyfin app for Android TV. Maybe subtitles are causing it, because I know it happens with VLC for Android TV, never had such issues with Nova Player.
Also, playback completely froze when I changed the video position frequently (seeking), so I had to close it and restart the video.
Again, no such issues with DLNA, which doesn’t do any transcoding and even works good on routers that support external disk connections.
But yes, of course I need to test it more, because I've just started, mb something has to be configured additionally.
