Swiftfin VS jfa-go

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

Seen this post? https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go/issues/141 he added Google smtp support to the unstable build a while ago and works fine. Not sure he ever added it to the stable build.

Look into jfa-go. I run it on the side and it hard-integrates into Jellyfin and adds a lot of account management stuff and the group/policy specific config you're mentioning

It is a bit tedious if you don’t do it every time you make a new user. You can do some mass editing with jfa-go, but I don’t know the details because I’ve never used it before.

You can create different accounts for each person, like profiles and so... And there's even a project (albeit abandoned as per their GitHub) that lets you have a sign up page. I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for

I also recommend trying jfa-go for managing Jellyfin users. Allows you to create a template user and kinda tie things together if you attach an email. Then, as the other reply said, use Jellyseerr (which is 10x faster than Ombi) and your account woes disappear...mostly...

maybe you can work with https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go to make it better?

jfa-go is really good, and has a lot of the same functionality. It is what I have been using

Jfa-GO

A similar tool for Jellyfin is jfa-go.
