  • Problems Since iOS 15.2

    Won’t continue a music playlist when phone is locked. It gets to the end of the song and then you have to unlock the phone to start the next song.

    Sure you can blame Apple for breaking the app, but other apps have gotten around this. I don’t know how much work fixing this would be, but the problem really limits the usability of the app. Other apps that work with Jellyfin server have the same problem.

  • Subtitles are shown double

    When I press on CC to get subtitles, it is show twice on the screen. Very annoying. When I press CC to Off, the subtitles do not disappear
  • Was... A Good Idea!

    For some reason I can now only watch about half my movies streamed to my TV. All I get is an error every time I try to play certain movies. I have reset, re-installed everything and still unable to figure out the problem.

    If your wondering... all my movies are in the same format - .M4V

    It was working up until a couple weeks ago, but I have since uninstalled it altogether. Loved it, but now no longer works -- disappointed!!

  • I want to love it

    I want to love it but this app and the beta app is useless in its current form.

    Chromecast on this app is non existent.

    Chromecast support in the beta is spotty, app crashes anytime I need to play or resume or pause, or even lock my phone screen.

    Also, the UI for connecting to the chromecast requires you to begin playing a show before connecting (absolute asinine).

    Please for the love of god just copy Plex or Infuse user interface for inspiration. And actually make features work.

  • Works like a charm

    This app is the bomb. Totally free, open source server software, easy to use, and looks super sharp. It took me less than half an hour to set up the server software on a 11 year old Windows desktop, and it scanned my 1.5 terabytes of media, grabbing all images, chapters, and descriptions, in only about 6 hours (not bad for the 600kbps internet and old Phenom CPU). I also installed the client on a Raspberry Pi running OSMC, and it integrated seamlessly. The software provides a beautiful web interface that any browser can use (I’ve had no trouble with Firefox on Windows or Mac, Chromium on Raspbian, and for my 2012 iPad, Firefox mobile 8.0). The old PC has no trouble running the server, and multiple 1080p streams simultaneously have been no problem. (I do have a very nice Nighthawk router, so gigabit-speed WiFi LAN might be filling the scales in my favor). Overall, wonderful app, my only complaint is the lack of a download feature. However, the server software does have the option to run UPnP, and I can download to VLC mobile using that. So not a big deal, but the only thing keeping this from being perfect.
    Question for the devs: any chance of getting a tvOS app in the near future?

  • So far, so good. Just looking for one more feature…

    It’s so easy to take a speedy internet connection for granted, but there still are (and may always be) times and places where offline capabilities are needed. I’d really love the ability to download some of my media to my device. It’s technically feasible, but Plex hid that feature behind. paywall.

    The only other app that provided download ability was playerXtreme, and it went under. So how ‘bout it, Jellyfin?

  • Great except for the “Cast” button…

    I’ve got the Chromecast Google TV running, and the only time I was able to get the “Cast” button to show is when I had the Jellyfin open on the Chromecast.

    I’m going to try bringing back my old Chromecast Ultra and see if it works any better.

    That said, I love how fast Jellyfin is, so much better than Plex in that respect.

  • Great App with a Couple Problems

    Generally, it works very well. But it doesn’t support direct play for FLAC and it doesn’t seem to support direct play for PGS subtitles.
  • Tab bar

    How to hide the tab bar at the bottom?
