### 1/5 — Freya Plays well... For Jellyfin at least

*2026-06-22*

Coolest app for the potential. I just wish Plex had no error when typing in the verification code to this app after submitting says only to try again each time.

**Developer response:** Hey sorry you ran into issues - it's a new app and I'm still working out the bugs. If you want to leave a more detailed report via the about section, I'll take a look.
