Fantastic to have more selection! I love Findroid but its good to have alternatives!

Edit: downloaded it from Github but cannot connect to my server with same credentials I use in the official app, hm.

Edit2: OK, others have same issue https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/issues/12

Edit3: they just released a fix

fix(android): Support for un-secure plaintext authentication (HTTP) logins

So I will test it again tonight when I have time.

If you test it, can you let me know how it compares to Findroid?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OK, it works now so I had a look.

At this stage no match for Findroid, but I like the layout of it.

When you play a file it somehow starts playing minimised and you need to tap it it goes full screen.

No automatic rotation, so you need to do it manually.

Haven't tried the downloading yet and I have no Chromecast to test casting with.

In a couple of updates it might be decent enough already for general use.

Ooh, that's promising. I guess I'll try it once it matures a bit more then. Thanks for going through the trouble of reviewing it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Once it works, sure. Will need to wait for a fix first.

Yayyy unsecured connections for logins.

My server isn't exposed to the outside. I am connecting through local WiFi. If someone manages to get in there I probably have bigger problems than access to my Jellyfin.

A non issue for servers hosted at home that aren’t exposed externally
