Love my Jellyfin server, but I have 2 gripes over just using VLC.

Can't use the scroll wheel for volume. It's a pain aiming for the volume from across the room on the couch.
JF won't boost volume past 100% like VLC.

Know of any fixes?

You might want to consider streaming it on your TV. Modern TVs should have a Plex app at the least. Or use a Chromecast or other setup. I watch on my couch with the TV remote. Its the same experience as watching Netflix.

Plex isn’t Jellyfin though. Lots of TV’s/TV OS’s have Jellyfin app but it’s pretty basic. I’d recommend an AppleTV with Infuse, it’s super built out with all sorts of great features. It’s a better app than all of the streaming services

I know this might sound crazy, but I use both Apple devices AND non-Apple devices! Oh the horror!

Macbooks beat the shit out of any comparable windows laptop. And iPads beat the shit out of any android tablet. And AppleTV is the best TV OS by far. Life must be hard when you just hate things because its popular to hate them.

I like the appleTV OS, but I really despise the remote.

Crossing my fingers for the new Snapdragons, especially Linux support.

The M series MacBooks are just in another league vs x86 laptops.

Yeah I got a M3 MacBook Air recently and it’s by far the best laptop I’ve ever had. Battery last forever. If the new snapdragon chip lives up to the hype then one of those will likely be my next

No, I just like freedom

Same here! That’s why it’s so amazing that I can buy different brands for different uses! So free to do what’s best for me! Wowzers!
