Jellyfin Mobile

Thank you for creating Jellyfin server and clients! I want to use https for self hosted jellyfin in my LAN. However jellyfin app on iOS cannot connect to server. If I use Firefox brwoser I have option for bypass SSL warning. So please add option to allow to connect to jellyfin server with self-signed SSL. It is wven better if app could display server SSL fingerprint for verifying before connect.

Thanks for your hard work, but since you seem to be migrating users to a newer app, may I suggest: 1. Rename this app to “Jellyfin (retired)” since it hasn’t been updated in years. 2. Change the app description to point users to the new Jellyfin video app (“SwiftFin iOS”) and the (unofficial??) FinTunes app, that are much more robust than this app. Thanks again!

The developers that maintain this open source application deserve big kudos, as it is a lot of work to keep up with Apple’s ever moving goal posts just so we can use Jellyfin on iOS. Massive hat tip to you guys for keeping this updated so I can watch all my content on my phone. I would love some ability to download videos to my device and have some sort of local cache to watch videos when I’m on the go but I know that would probably be difficult to implement. Thanks again for keeping this app going!

Wish I had known about Jellyfin sooner. Hats off to the developers for their hard work for others enjoyment. Great system and deployment.

The player does not handle device orientation well at all.

Amazing app that allows me to view my OWNED media in a completely new and wonderful way! Can’t recommend this app enough! Update: So I do have a few gripes and issues to address. The first major issue I have is the subtitles. Often, when subtitles (embedded and srt) are enabled, they are usually synced incorrectly, or do not play at all. This is not an issue with the subtitles, media or server as they play just fine on my other Jellyfin clients (Web, Tizen, Media Player (PC)). I’m hoping this will be addressed as I don’t want to get halfway through another show only to realize it’s had subtitles the entire time. My other complaint has to do with the current caching issue. The issue could be server side, however it appears that when connecting to a new server or updating the app while still connected to the old one, there is a glitch with the caching and the UI doesn’t appear at all. This was also an issue on all my other clients. To fix the PC media player, I deleted the media player cache in local app data and reconnected just fine. For iPhone, the only method I’ve found is to delete and reinstall the app. As a side note. It would be nice if the “Reset Application” button cleared the web cache as well.

Sees everything on my Jellyfin server, but can’t play *any* of it, while Jellyfix plays it just fine (not that the Jellyfin server works all that well). UI is great for showing library, but once you (attempt) to play a video, there’s no way to go back to the main screen - most you can do is pause the video and your’re left with an empty video screen with no controls other than play/pause. Why does every dev insist on hiding controls and trying to “look cool”, instead of making things work and be intuitive? After 2 years of trying to make Jellyfin do what it says on the package, I’m about done. Overhyped, clunky, barely works…on dedicated new hardware. Windows Media sharing and VLC works better, and that’s saying something. Paying for Plex is looking pretty attractive about now.

Fails to connect on my iPhone, works on old iPad and Roku and pc

Have tried IP, host name, nothing works.

Fails to even connect to server, although I can connect just fine with a web browser and with the Roku app.
