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.
Nearly perfect
Jelly fin is pretty much perfect at what it does you might notice some reviews complaint about bugs in the mobile version but I have been using it for a long time and I can confirm most of these have been fixed. They are constantly improving on things with updates my only complaint right now would be the lack of proper music controls ie metadata and track skipping on the lock screen, but watching things works very well and it even has a download feature, probably one of the best open sourced projects of all time.

Super good, but downloads are frustrating
1. There is no progress bar on active downloads. I have no idea how long it’s going to take to finish each download or how much progress any download has made.
2. The downloads go in parallel, not in series in the order they were queued. If I ask for three episodes, and I only manage to download one of them before I lose connection and can’t download anymore, I’d much rather it be the first of the three, not the second or third. Downloads should go in order.
3. Why can’t I cancel downloads? The “Edit” button only lets you delete downloads which have finished, so to “cancel” a download it has to finish first, which is terrible and wastes bandwidth you want to give other downloads if you’re trying to cancel.
I just think this is all that mobile downloading needs to be wayyyyyy better.

Farewell DVD, Hello Fabulous JellyFin!
Oh man, this is great. I’ve kept DVDs around since I was a kid but obviously, it’s antiquated and most have moved on but I liked them b/c they reminded me of being a kid finding a movie to watch but indeed I needed a modernization. SO! ChatGPT told me about JellyFin so I dug into it, built a nice MNIS Forum MS-01 i9 server with 64GB of memory and 6TB of space. Now all my DVDs reside rent-free in my home JellyFin server. I can stream anywhere in the house or over the internet wherever I am using a VPN link back to my home network. This completes my life. I simply drag an drop films into my SMB share of the server and BOOM, they appear in JellyFin. It even fetches movie poster images to represent them in JellyFin. Try it!

Can only listen with the app open
This app desperately needs the ability to play music while the phone is locked or another app is open. It’s virtually useless without it.
