jellyfin-audio-player VS Swiftfin

You're welcome! Finamp is very good, then there's also https://github.com/leinelissen/jellyfin-audio-player which is also worth trying.

Fintunes: Streaming audio player for Jellyfin

Check out Fintunes for music! https://github.com/leinelissen/jellyfin-audio-player

jellyfin-audio-player Has a more iOS-centric design

I’d also like to point out Jellyfin Audio Player, which looks far more native on iOS.

Jellyfin Audio Player also exists, but I've not tried it quite as much. It seems to be somewhat inferior to Gelli feature wise, and also doesn't have offline mode. It does have a unique somewhat "iOS-like" interface if that's something your brother would like. It is also installed by sideloading.

Your best shot at this point in time might be trying the unofficial Jellyfin Audio Player.

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.
