I'd love to use Jellyfin instead of Plex, but the LG webOS client has literally never been updated. The first public version from July 2022 is still the latest version, and it's not really there yet.

I am using it on LG Webos. What's the issue?

Honestly it's been a year since I tried it now so I don't remember everything. One thing I really feel is crucial is turning down subtitle brightness in HDR. Plex allows for grey subtitles, which in HDR look white, except not at 700+ nits. They literally light up the room in dark scenes, and it's extremely jarring in dark scenes (with APL of 1 nit or less).

I have the same issue, and apparently, it's coming, we just don't know when.

I'm aware, but I don't think that code will affect the webOS version unfortunately. And even if it does, the app needs to be updated first.

The webOS app is just a wrapper for jellyfin-web, so any changes to web will be reflected in the webOS app without it needing an update. As long as you keep your server up to date, of course, since jellyfin-web is ran from there.

Oh! That's awesome. I'm that case I'll either try it when the release containing that commit is out, it maybe even earlier.

They're also working on WebOS AFAIK. There are some screenshots and posts in the PR talking about it.
