Swiftfin VS jellyfin-androidtv

One suggestion I’ll make to the Jellyfin team is to post this call at the point where users are requesting things too.

In the example in the blogpost (Chromecast support), in the issue I was asking a bit about how I could help implement the feature (https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/issues/271#issuecomment...).

Even if there’s nothing I could have productively done to contribute to that feature, I would absolutely have gone to those getting started features.

So, I’d encourage the team to have a pretty quick hand in issues when people are asking to help to link to this blog post and getting started resources.

Finally, none of this is in anyway a criticism of how any interaction was handled. I super appreciate everyone that works on Jellyfin, and I know onboarding developers can often feel like/be more work than not. Just a suggestion for a good spot to add some CTA links that I think would convert reasonably well

Jellyfin is my jam, it just works. Its administration interface is intuitive, pretty solid, personally I think the dashboard looks good aesthetically, and most importantly it’s open source so if anything is broken I can just fix it myself. If anyone is interested in feel free to check out Swiftfin (https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin) a native iOS client

Hmm, it appears there is already a bug report. You and OP can comment on it to share that you have the same problem (if it is indeed the same issue).

Some examples are Jellyfin Media Player, Swiftfin, or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats and these clients always direct play my media.

From reading the comments on this GitHub issue, it seems you press the “down” key on your remote. That’s for the audio track, at least.

Swiftfin issue

Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.12): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

This is an example of the kind of issue I'm having. I also recently tried to apply subtitles and it didn't work. It's a real shame as it fails the wife test as Plex works without issue.

There's a problem with playlists right now, it's discussed in the Issues section

Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.7): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

I'm working on the app in my spare time and while I do have some specific items in focus (like the playback rewrite) I always end up working on the things I want to work on. There is a "roadmap"-ish list here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/projects/15 but it's not always up-to-date and in no way a promise that everything will happen.

I assume this is the GitHub repo?
