  Yeah but they don’t have highly paid UX design teams, so they’re probably just copying design choices on the basis that they’re trying to offer people a similar experience they can own.

    Also, it’s FOSS so you can always make your own skin/theme.

  Almost, but it has movie titles under the poster/cover and usually pulls the actual movie covers.

  Once you click into it, it gives a shitton of detail about the movie.

    Is this not the case with netflix/hbo? Sorry i never actually used any streaming service before other than Jellyfin so i don’t understand what is the issue here

      Two things off the top of my head:

      • Jellyfin displays ratings from RT (and opencritic maybe?), while Netflix has stopped displaying their own user ratings years ago.

      • Jellyfin displays the full cast and crew. When you click an actor, director,… it shows you other media where they appear, even individual episodes. Netflix has none of that.

  Jellyfin has like six different view types to pick from, including one that doesn’t even show images. And almost all the others show the title always visible below the preview image.

  Jellyfin a) only has the content you feed it, so you already have some knowledge about it and b) you can expand it with plugins and make the design however you like it.

  Everything others said, plus you can choose your client. For example, I use VoidTV for Jellyfin on my TV which offers a different design (though I use it because it’s the only Jellyfin client where DD video+audio work).
