Download/playlist/flac support. about jellyfin-audio-player HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi there!

Thanks for your suggestions. Implementing download support should not be particularly difficult, most effort is probably in creating interfaces to manage what is downloaded so that it can be removed etc.

As for the app icon, I agree it's not particularly Jellyfin-inspired. It's mostly an excercise in making cool multi-layered shadows, but I am not married to it in any regard.

Playlist support could probably be added based on Jellyfin, which would mean you would make the playlists in Jellyfin and could then play them in the app.

As for the FLAC stuff, from what I can gather it seems to be supported by all moving parts. I would just need to make the selected codec into a setting. This should go hand in hand with allowing bitrate selection.

I'll slowly start work on some of these features and keep you in the loop when they are updated. Should be a lot easier when I do have TestFlight support though ;)

Any updates about flac support?

from jellyfin-audio-player.

FLAC should be supported at this point. Would love to hear if you run into any issues

from jellyfin-audio-player.

Well I'm currently using the latest TestFlight version and the flac file is not listed in the library for me.
I already resetted the cache and updated the library but still not visible for me

from jellyfin-audio-player.

At the very least, the file should be visible in the app, as we don't apply any filtering on codec there. It might break on playing however. As a double-check: what kind of file/library are you playing from? We currently only query for MusicAlbum items from Jellyfin, so if your file is not part of an album, or sorted as an Ebook, it might not pop up ;)

Ok it's working if you have a full album

from jellyfin-audio-player.

Ah right! When designing the application I made the implicit assumption that all music would be sorted by albums. Is there another use case that makes more sense for you?

from jellyfin-audio-player.

My Library structe is like this:
Album -> Folder inside Library
Singles -> solo file inside library

Maybe it would be better if you can search in the whole library with the global search idk.

EDIT: If I have a album folder and inside of this 2 new folders for example: "CD 1", "CD 2" the album is also not visible in the app

from jellyfin-audio-player.

Just to add to this.
FLAC files are not playing on the latest release v0.1.4.
I'm on Android 11.
The songs are displayed on the app but when I try to play them nothing happens.

Hmm, that's curious. I'll try and find out what's going wrong there...

from jellyfin-audio-player.

Hi there! I found out that our Android version is backed by ExoPlayer, which has not built-in support for FLAC (anymore). Apparently the solution is to compile a custom version with FLAC extension support, but this seems to be too big of a hassle right now. I'll see if I can find a more straightforward solution, but for now we're stuck with not having FLAC support on Android :(

from jellyfin-audio-player.

The latest release (v0.2.2) includes support for both offline play/downloads and playlists. FLAC should be transcoded to AAC at this point. There are container formats that are lossless and play on Android and iOS natively (Ogg/FLAC and M4A/ALAC respectively), but Jellyfin doesn't allow transcoding to these containers as of yet. As soon as this support is present, FLACs should be able to be played natively.
