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

    Jellyfin has:

    A dedicated music app?
    Music filtering/smart playlists? Sonic analysis?
    Good 4k/x265 performance?
    Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?
    Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
    Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
    Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
    Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?

      Dedicated music app: Not 1st party. But there are projects like Finamp and Gelli
      Music filtering? Not that I am aware of. Just basic functionality
      Sonic analysis? No. Sounds like a very specific use case
      4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.
      Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though
      Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.
      Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV
      Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)
      Native DVR? Yes but I can’t really gauge how good it works.

        Ok

        Music filtering? Not that I am aware of. Just basic functionality

        That’s something people use fairly frequently (generate a music playlist from all albums with “Christmas” in the title)

        Sonic analysis? No. Sounds like a very specific use case

        It’s not; I’m guessing you don’t know what it is so hand waved it away as something people don’t use.

        4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.

        Nope; how is the 4k and x265 playback experience.

        Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though

        That’s not great.

        Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.

        I have that with a 3rd party utility with Plex.

        Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV

        Great

        Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)

        What about Samsung TVs? Roku? AppleTV? Firestick? TIZEN?

        Native DVR? Yes but I can’t really gauge how good it works.

      Streaming usage per person is available via one of the stats plugins, but it is admittedly crude and missing some info (such as bandwidth used).

      I’m using the android app without issues, which didn’t require side loading, but my experience with other platforms is zero.
