    What are the advantages over the regular jellyfin app? Seems like it maybe does less?

      Findroid does less, but what it does, it does better (imo).

      In addition, Findroid supports jumoog’s Intro Skipper and Trickplay, which isn’t available in Jellyfin Android.

      The major missing feature is transcoding support.

      the regular jellyfin app is just a web wrapper, at least it behaves like and looks like it, as for advantages, it’s the little things, like offline playback, double tap to skip like in youtube etc.

        Interesting because the jellyfin app can double tap to skip as well as download media for offline playback.

        I have both and UI seems like the only difference between the two (findroid looks MUCH better) except you have no access to any admin, profile, or library settings or functions (like scanning for new media or fixing metadata) in findroid.
