I recently started using Kodi for my linux distro collection, but some videos look terrible in comparison to when played in VLC. See attached picture with screengrabs from VLC and Kodi of the same frame in an MKV 1080p h.265 file. What could be the issue? I didn’t change any video settings in either

    I think it’s because Jellyfin still needs some polish.

    It’s getting better every day, though. I run both in parallel and usually use Jellyfin, but my family uses Plex for now.

      Try Emby. It’s a more polished Jellyfin although it’s not FOSS I find it much better than Plex

        If I’m understanding correctly, Emby has been hostile to FOSS (alleged GPL violations, etc.) and Jellyfin forked from it. Due to that, I’m not planning to use Emby.

        Having said that, I’m always interested in hearing about projects in this space. What things do you like about Emby?
