jellycon VS finamp

jellycon

JellyCon - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming addon. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date.

This sounds familiar to something reported here. Right now my best guess is the skin is populating before the addon is fully loaded and then doesn't get updates, but I haven't had a chance to confirm that yet.

I have Jellyfin setup alongside Plex, and the one thing that's keeping me from moving fully off Plex is Plexamp [1]. It works flawlessly on my phone/laptops, includes a ton of features and is a pleasure to use - especially compared to Spotify or Apple Music.

I am aware of FinAmp [2] and music players for Jellyfin, but they aren't comparable to PlexAmp yet.

Use Finamp.

Ah ok, I've been looking into OPUS transcoding in Finamp, it should be possible on Android. There are a few bugs with Jellyfin that makes it a bit awkward, which can be seen here

Sonixd is great, I also want to release Finamp on desktop at some point (I am the developer :) )

The changelog can be found at https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.6.11

I use finamp for This!

Note that the donation is to me personally. Some other Finamp contributors also have a sponsor page, such as Chaphasilor, who's been the main person behind the redesign.

I listen to music on my phone with Gelli. This does not scrobble music either. I'm open to switching apps but finamp seems also not to support scrobbling.
