I’m currently a Plex user and access it from Apple TV’s. I find this is a smooth and stable experience that everyone in the house enjoys and is comfortable. I also use PlexAmp on laptops, mobile and CarPlay.

I am interested in Jellyfin and am wondering if I can expect any hurdles or rough edges moving over?

EDIT: Thanks all for the great feedback and suggestions. I think I will give it a try in parallel with Influx and see if it’s worth the $100 lifetime purchase.

    Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

    This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

    I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

      Really interesting that you’ve encountered this, I have no trouble at all watching super-high bitrate media in Infuse. I may be spoiled with my gigabit internet, but the Apple TV caches entire 4K Blu-rays in minutes on my local network (you can watch the seek bar fill up, it’s really satisfying) so I never thought about this. I’m curious why this hits some users and not others.
