  • To be more specific, I looked at the list of open feature requests, and one of them is this one: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/1714

    A rather trivial PR for it is open since Feb 2023 with no addressable feedback: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/9291

  • 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
