Live TV

Initial support for streaming Live TV. No recordings, or starting recordings yet.

Background downloads using the optimize server (optional)

While we don't want to introduce other programs in order to use this app fully, we have created a sidecar program called "optimized versions server". It's optional to use and we still support and continue to improve the normal way of downloading content in the app.

This containerized program takes an HLS stream from Jellyfin and combines it into a single file (just like how downloads in the Streamyfin app works today). The benefit of a server is that the single combined file allows for background downloads in the app for both iOS and Android. Just click download, minimize the app, and wait for the notification.

What's Changed

• feat: live-tv support by @fredrikburmester in #156
• chore: refactor player logic (video, music, live-tv) by @fredrikburmester in #165
• fix: removed resumable items from next up by @Alexk2309 in #163
• feat: background downloads by @fredrikburmester in #140
• feat: set downloads button to purple if downloads exist by @Simon-Eklundh in #142
• feat: added support for more libraries to use the recently added section by @Alexk2309 in #151
• feat: go (manually and automatically) to the next episode when progress reaches end

What's fixed

• fix: posters clipping and not clickable on home and search page
• fix: fade in/out player when starting video
• fix: trying to delete a video would cause the video to play when releasing the finger (android)
• fix: small design improvements
• fix: music player now works again

Full Changelog: v0.16.0...v0.17.0

0.16.0

Background downloads, and more! This is for me the main missing feature from all JF clients. It's not as easy as it sounds though. Jellyfin does not have "optimized versions" support like Plex, and can't pre-transcode files for download. That's why I created the streamyfin-optimized-versions-server. It's used to convert videos into a compatible format before downloading, and enables downloading a single file in the background.

This is pre-release for a reason. This is the first version of the feature and I want to iron out the bugs before making a full release.

v0.15.0

Another release! It's been too long... Every time I think i'm gonna do another release I get some new feature idea that I just need to implement. Anyway, hope you like it!

In this release we have a new player design. We're deviating from the native player design, and implementing our own. This is because the native player does not support things like trickplay, customizable buttons, etc. We now have the possibility to implement more cool features in the future. It might not feel as native, but for now it opens more doors than it closes.

What's new

• feat: removes the need for http/https in the url bar by @Simon-Eklundh in #129
• feat: new full screen player
• feat: skip intro
• feat: skip credits
• feat: trickplay images
• feat: show cached progress in video progress slider
• feat: genres for movies and episodes
• feat: more from this actor on item page
• feat: make item title copyable by long press
• feat: better video orientation settings
• feat: set video skip and rewind times in settings

What's fixed

• fix: change card and title sizes
• fix: accidental press when scrolling through carousel
• fix: play button color

In the works

Syncplay: I've been trying to get Syncplay to work but it's a bit difficult. There's a branch with my progress if anyone wants to take a look. Right now joining a group and playing an item works, but seeking and sending updates to the server is not implemented yet.

Quick connect: In the next release you can expect to be able to authorize logins with QC via the app.
