Is It Me?

I’m running on my Asustor server and it has worked correctly once.., I think. Running the app on my iPad, iPhone, Nvidia Shield Pro and ONN Roku TV. Running the best on the Roku TV. Running the worst on my iPad! I have an extensive media library including 4K movies and tv shows backed up from my purchased discs. Jellyfin doesn’t like closed captions on any 4K video and I can’t find any information about the problem.

App doesn’t load

I’ve had this happen multiple times despite updates, the app will open and will just stay stuck on the loading screen with the Jellyfin logo. Not sure what causes this but I have to reinstall the app whenever I want to use it. Other than that it’s very good.

Latest update makes playback stutter

With the new update I’ve noticed that download from the server is sometimes outpaced by the playback. So video files will regularly pause briefly and revert a few seconds.

Frozen on startup

When you open the app it just freezes on the startup page with the logo in the center. Better get a fix out for this asap

Needs Password Manager Support

No password manager recognition at login. Trying to get the password to fill locks the app up.

All my devices have it

It works very well and I have it on nearly everything

Nice simple native JellyFin player

Works well, it’s got identical flow to native JellyFin dashboard, does not work quite as well as Infuse for downloading episodes though.

Overall I prefer UI of Swiftfin, but for the fact is has issue with top 3rd of screen is whited out when navigating through content.

NOW I can give this 5 stars

Formerly I would’ve given this 3 stars. After all, it’s just a web browser. However, now that the background music playback is fixed, this is acceptable

light and perfect

does just what I need please don't bloat it

Great but would love CarPlay

The app is great. Works seamlessly, a major downside is there’s no CarPlay support which makes it difficult to use when not actively engaged on the phone or via playlists

bug太多

下载一直转圈 而且下载列表也无能删除。没实现的功能 放出来 不是坑人吗?

Hangs on startup on ios 27

Loved this app but it just doesn't work anymore for me on ios 27

Updates broke the app

This latest update has completely borked this app. It now constantly refreshes the app back to the Home Screen. Additionally, galleries default into auto-play mode.

Please hire some Japanese software developers. They actually know how to code.

Apple 4k tv

Needs to work with apple 4k tv App Store that would be amazing

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!

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.
