  • Unusable

    Can’t even get started. Can’t find server address. I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve searched for help or documentation but can’t find anything. Disappointing.
  • It’s alright

    It’s a bit rough around the edges.
    My primary gripes:
    Gaps between music tracks
    No offline play
    No transcoding (at least for audio-only media, I haven’t tried video)
    No lockscreen control panel for music

    Edit: videos do work, so for a hacky fix use a container like webm for opus audio or something instead of ogg.

  • Finally

    First off five stars for the concept and diligence to tackle this.

    An item of not in ios there is no option to download files but it is there if you go through the browser.

    I think for those that have quality issues maybe a video tutorial series on how to build there library based on the end devices. This can make s huge difference in computing power needed.

    Only item I'd like to see is better support for photo video pulled straight from my phones ios or android. I don't really want to have to convert modify those.

  • Absolutely amazing

    Sarcasm, this app is crap. What is the point of making an app if you’re not able to make a functioning one? Keep it in alpha and the embarrassment hidden. You are able to do a little market research to see what other apps are capable of right? Well don’t get there yet I guess, prob be smart to make the basic things work that an app like this should be able to do first. Aka play music or movies consistently and effectively. Think the articles saying Jellyfin is something great are wrote by biased and/or very vested people. Pretty sure I’d be better served with lugging around a boombox, some cassettes, some vhs’s, vcr and a CRT, than what this is doing for me. Boy does it make stuff look purdy though.

  • Finally!

    Finally a real open source solution to a LAN media server.

    This just works, with no BS.
  • thanks for your work

    Was stuck using Emby for a while, glad to finally move to Jellyfin.
  • More airplay support?

    App works well enough but would love to see native Chromecast/TV streaming capabilities implemented.
  • Stops playing 30 seconds after locking my phone

    I like Jellyfin but this is a big issue.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback! We know this is a big issue currently and hope to fix it soon. You can follow our progress here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-expo/issues/19
  • Buggy and feature limited

    It just opens safari to play files. Can’t often find the Jellyfin server on local network. Uninstalled both.
  • Great Project

    This is a great project, backed by a great team of people working to make their source code available to all freely. I look forward to what’s to come, it will only get better and better. Thank you team Jellyfin.
