Hey! Since Jellyfin and Swiftfin weren’t updated for about a year now, and there are some bugs that bother me, I’m wondering what you guys use instead of them :)

    What bugs have you had? I don’t use it heavily, but I haven’t run into any myself.

      The Jellyfin app itself doesn’t support Direct play, which ruins it for me straight away. Not to mention it’s just the web version in an app anyway.

      Swiftfin app is fine, but it doesn’t have PiP, when you open a series, the episodes don’t show up until you select the season again. (There is an issue on GitHub for it and it’s been there for a year now https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/issues/653 ). You can’t mark episodes as watched, no support for some audio codecs, sometimes wrong audio/subtitles picked and other little things. Still prefer it to the other one but yeah…

        Your direct play and Picture in Picture issues might be resolved if you enable “Use Native Video Player” in playback settings. That being said, Picture in Picture doesn’t always work properly for me.

        Thanks, for this list. Although I thought you could mark episodes as played. Maybe I’m misremembering.

        Lack of Picture in Picture is annoying, I forgot it couldn’t do that.
