I’ve never looked back since discovering Jellyfin. This is just one reason why.

Lovely :)

I’m gonna test the improvements to the subtitles handling and hopefully be a step closer to not needing to rely on Plex.

Anybody using jellyfin for their music? I never tried it because some initial comments said it was bad, but it looks like they’ve been improving it.

Its fine. It’s what I use when listening to music on my tv. But on my phone I use navidrome/ultrasonic. I love navidrome, ultrasonic is fine.

I am, I use Finamp as the client. It works fine, I wouldn’t say its better than say Plexamp, but it works well enough as a daily driver.

the name alone is worth a download

I use jellyfin as the server, then symfonium as a client on my phone. Works pretty well.

Symfonium has offline download which is handy for traveling with a spotty connection

Thank you for the info.

Yep

I still use Plexamp running parallel with Jellyfin bc it simply doesn't display all my music. I'm assuming it's a name convention thing or something but i haven't hammered it out because my library is ridiculous.

Yeah I agree, Jellyfin is too picky with his naming conventions.

Sorta, I use both Navidrome and Jellyfin. I use navidrome primarily for music listening, but then point jellyfin at the same library so that I can play music on the TV easily. With Navidrome I use feishin as my client on desktop, and I use tempo on one of my android smart phones, ultrasonic on my daily driver flip-phone (cat S22 flip), and my partner has used amperfy and subsonic on their iphone–haven’t really been happy with any of the clients for iphone.

Navidrome built in webserver also works pretty ok for using at work etc. Feishin is really nice for being able to set up dynamic “smart” playlists with a gui.

I find that using something more dedicated to music like Navidrome is a little more feature built. Plus there are so many *sonic clients–so it just feels more flexible.

If you use Tempo you might want to look into Tempus: a new fork of Tempo receiving updates. Tempo hasn’t received updates for almost a year.

Thanks for the info. Kind of confirms there are better ways about this that I should look into. But also confirms that it works well enough because sometimes I just want to play music on my TV as I do house chores.

And at the same time, the third-party clients Void and Fladder both just had initial testing releases for Android TV. Hooray for FLOSS ecosystems!

Wish the apple TV version, Swiftin, would get some love as well.
