Please Jellyfin, that feature will allow me to transition the whole family away from Plex.
Don’t care that plex is paid for, I’d rather exclusively run Jellyfin instead of both just so others in the household can get their offline video fix while traveling.
But it just downloads to disk, you cannot click “play” in the app, finishing an episode doesn’t make it as watched, you do not retain the ability to “continue” playing,…
I guess that depends on the app. I know what you mean by it doesn’t mark the played episode as played, it’s like there’s no offline sync so it’s kind of half baked. I think that’s still wholly on the app side of things (aka the client), as I believe the server side functionality exists.
