The fork isn’t

Any news about the fork of it? https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android-fdroid

Also the new contender, Streamyfin. Bit behind Findroid but they are slowly getting somewhere!

I think the official app does let you download but its literally a file on your phone. So you need a file manager and a video player that can play your file in addition. There is generally no management of downloads or a way to see what you downloaded in the official app.

Findroid improves on this massively, I however keep having the issue it doesn’t seem to download images from the library, so all my downloads are grey boxes. Just a cosmetic issue though as they all play fine.

I am actually using this for quite a while but since its not developed anymore I also need to prep for the inevitable. Posted on this actually but only got one good suggestion, web based server side only though, OliveTin.

See my post https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/17822391

Thank you! Also thanks for not getting discouraged to answer by all this comment mess.

Would be nice if you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others?

Edit: jeez, guys. It was just a question since they said “none of the others met their needs” so I was interested in that? Did that sound that rude? I am not a native English speaker, so I am not sure now. They are completely OK to ignore my question. But cool, will not ask that again and ignore such posts in the future.

I guess a point to ask like the other user already mentioned is, are you using external subtitles?

Data is stored in a log file, which is why I wondered if someone already made a solution that just parses that and presents it as graphs. Couldn’t find that myself but seems like it does not exist.

I get your point and it was an emergency option to at some point take time and do it myself, sure. But that is not what I asked, not even sure when I have the time to do this.

It means All pat has to do to make this real is rename his distro to “deadpool and wolverine”.

Yeah, if phones go via WiFi and the computer is on a cable the IP ranges may differ and that would explain you can access only via one of the two.

I dislike how it looks. I don’t care it’s there. That’s not complaining. I don’t need this changed. It’s just ugly in my view.

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.

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.

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

Removed by mod

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.

Haven’t used Kodi but am running Jellyfin via the official docker image on a Raspberry Pi 4. Even there transcoding works reasonably well for one user at a time, admittedly didn’t try with several users at the same time so far.

Just mentioning the docker image because I used to install it without docker directly via the repository and I never got transcoding to work on the same hardware.
