Greyed out/ inactive buttons

Love the project and support open source. Just a major bug where the forward and reverse arrows and time are grayed out in my iPhone pro max when screen is locked. However I’m able to change tracks using Bluetooth headphones which is bizarre. Also the time line is also greyed out and can’t be moved :(

Congrats on fixing background playback!!

This has finally made it much more usable in iOS and I will use more from now on. I see it had been discussed on github for years. Thanks to the devs who came forward to help with this issue.

Inappropriate content for child

They have not vetted the children’s content for biblo app. They promised Christian values for children and there are gay marriages, references to drugs, and inappropriate sexual content in children’s cartoons. Also this Jellyfin app they use to support biblo is cumbersome to use on iPads and tv. Series don’t auto play and then they don’t stay in order so you loose your place when you exit the screen and try to find the next episode in the series. I can’t find how to cancel my subscription as well. Do I cancel through Jellyfin or biblo. No customer support that I can find. I would appreciate some assistance. Thank you

Cannot connect to server

Can’t connect to server, tried to look it up and it doesn’t seem to have a lot on the topic. Needless to say the android and web apps allow login only this one requests a web address it is unable to access. Might be a user error but I cannot find any way to resolve it in my attempts at searching.

Super App

Habe keine Probleme mit der Wiedergabe sowohl auf iPhone als auch auf iPad. Genial für die eigene Mediathek!
