It's a really nice app, I like the fact that it uses mpv, but you cannot pick the stream quality in this app? I always avoid re-encoding (picking different stream quality from jellyfin) but I noticed that it's missing in Findroid.
- Yeah I only just noticed this too. I believe that's the case.
- Not sure if it made it into this release or not, but transitioning support is in the bleeding version, so this won't be the case for long
- This is because it doesnt support transcoding. It does direct streams only.
  
  Yeah, and I am questioning, why is that the case. Because client apps are not doing the transcoding, server is.
Just to clarify - this is just an update that (I believe) is only available on IzzyOnDroid's F-Droid Repo, which previously had prior Findroid versions available. This new v0.15.0 is not available on the main F-Droid Repo.
Is anyone only able to download the 32-bit version of this app via F-Droid? It looks like a 64-bit version has been made available starting with v0.3.0 and is also available on this new version.
- That might be my bad, I saw an update notification and it may have been Droid-ify.
  I'll update the title just in case
What is the point of this when the OG Jellyfin has an android app?
- Its way nicer. And I especially love the built in Download Manager. In the official App you just download files and have to play them yourself.
  
  And keeps the playback time updated on local files. It also manages surround downmix better than the internal app.
- It is a good question, I had the same when I first heard about it.
  I think lots of people keep both installed:
  the default one is good for managing server related things
  this one is good for daily use, especially for any other users you might have
  What I liked:
  feels much faster and smoother
  UI is nice and clean
  download manager works nicely, as another user mentioned. You don't need to open a separate app to play the files
  
  That's exactly my usecase. I was on a travel and used the offline-mode. Really easy to stay on progress without network.
- It is always good to have choices
why can I not install it?
first time i just get the share button on droid-ify
/e: installig directly from github was no issue
- I think there may be an issue where F-Droid is not properly recognizing the 64-bit version of Findroid. Maybe Droid-ify and/or the version of Android you are using won't allow 32-bit apps to be installed.
