I downloaded a few things thinking I could watch offline. Turns out you can’t. Does the app have a way to remove the downloaded content?

    AFAIK it simply downloads the files to your Download folder. Delete them from your file manager.

      Yes, OP you also need an external player like VLC to play them. Maybe that’s why you say you couldn’t play them?

      I’d recommend Findroid as alternative app for Jellyfin on Android, it let’s you download and watch content from within the app. Doesn’t download the images of content though, so it is not perfect either.

        I recommend Findroid as well! You can download and play within the app, much closer to a netflix experience.

        Got any recommendations for a music player?

        I’ve paid for symfonium and love it tbh, it works really well, has great customizability and the offlining of favourited albums is so so nice. It has an internal download cache, but it can also export files to your downloads folder the way jellyfin does at the moment. My only gripe is that it’s not FOSS.

          I am not using Jellyfin much for music, but Finamp worked relatively OK. However make sure you get the beta, the latest stable version is way behind and they started some major redesign in the beta program.

          Just switch off WiFi and test it then, learned it myself the hard way! For findroid you will then need to manually switch the app into “offline” mode for it to work.

            Testing it is how I found out it didn’t work. Lol. Got findroid and it worked great on the plane.
