Interesting read about the Development Bystander Problem. I was indeed part of it. Maybe it is time to start contributing :)
If the jellyfin android app didn’t encode the files and just served them like the web UI that would be utterly amazing.
I can play the file via VLC with hardware decoding, jellyfin should be able to do the same.
The android application has multiple “players” available to it.
- Web player
- Integrated player
- External player
Sounds like you want to be using the integrated player so that you can direct play on your device?
Funny how it takes a call for devs for everyone to voice their concerns and suggestions

I submitted a pull request that was shut down and the only feedback was “I don’t think this is the way we’d do it.”
I know managing community contributions is a big task but if you want people to volunteer, a baseline amount of effort should be made to enable it.
It’s also helpful to have automated tests to increase confidence that a change won’t break existing features.
Link?
They are probably talking about this one: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/3522
There was a baseline effort there. Your PR wasn’t a proper fix, but more of a hack which also isn’t in line with how a proper UI would display things.
