This is utterly aggravating. That's literally the button I use the most by a factor of 10x. The center button behavior differs between apps and is inconsistent enough to drive me crazy. This just makes me want to live more exclusively inside a single app, and that app is without question going to be Jellyfin. I'm certainly not a normal consumer, but I'm just moving further and further away from what they want.




Jellyfin is so bad on my XBOX I'm thinking of going back to Plex. I was really angry when Plex pivoted to a FAST service but after I got sucked into Tubi it didn't seem fair to punish Plex anymore.


what's a FAST service? never heard of the term, and the phrase "fast service" isn't exactly easily searchable.


At least a Kagi search (for FAST Service Acronym) gives me: "FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) is a business model. It is, as the name implies, a streaming TV service that supplies programming for free. Period. Almost all of the FAST services offer linear channels and on demand options."



thanks a lot!


Give Tubi a try, it's like broadcast TV and the lower tier of cable channels died and went to heaven. Fox news is spending heavily on it at a loss right now so it's in the early phase of the enshittification cycle. (I didn't take it personally when I gave it my email and it showed me retargeted ads for brands I'd disengaged with years ago)
