Jellyfin for me sucks. Not the server, the client. It works great on my wife's machine but whenever I wanna watch something I get constant issues with crashing and seeking not working.

Sounds like a transcoding issue which AFAIK can depend on the machine you try to play this with. Doesn't really solve your problem other than next time get something that's better at playing more video formats, which is a hilarious and silly problem to have these days.

I recently had a weird bug with Jellyfin, are you by chance using a domain name? Try accessing Jellyfin using direct IP, e.g. http://192.168.1.123:8096/

Can't remember but ill switch to direct IP and see if that helps. Thanks :)

This is why I’ve stuck with Emby.

I get why people switched, and I’m open to it eventually, but Emby is much more polished. That’s not to say the Emby clients don’t also crash from time to time.

If you're trying to watch 4k content in a browser, AFAIK, Edge is the only one capable.

Nah, the dedicated client.
