    JellyCon - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming addon. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date.

    Can you describe more what you mean by JellyCon and Embuary being broken? I know the autoconfig wizard thing doesn't work, and it turns into a bunch of manual configs. See https://github.com/mcarlton00/jellycon/issues/14 for more details about it.
