Hello everyone. Effective yesterday, Anthony and I decided to depart from the project, myself as Project Leader, and he as a core team member. This is in addition to the resignation of Andrew on Frida
I never understood why they don’t support the subsonic protocol.
Also, there’s no native Jellyfin app for my phone.
In the end I changed to Navidrome and use it with a subsonic-compatible app.
Also, my server is still PHP-free and I’d like to keep it that way.
What phone do you have that the jellyfin app and the jellyamp app are unavailable?
Edit: Also you can support subsonic with jellysub acting as a go-between. Considering its not a music-first solution, I’m not surprised that it doesn’t support subsonic natively, personally.
Edit 2: Its unmaintained but works as of the last time I tried it out, fwiw. It isnt exactly a complex codebase either if something got tripped up by minor changes.
Not the person you’re responding to but if I wanted to turn an old Asus MeMO Pad 7 into something I could stream from my PC with, would you advise me to install Postmarket OS, LineageOS, something else?
I’m guessing you’re not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.
So to answer your question: OpenSubsonic is only for music, and Jellyfin does much more than music. Adopting OpenSubsonic would mean maintaining two APIs, which doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Meanwhile Navidrome is adding Jellyfin API compatibility to get access to more clients :P

Huh. yeah, no PHP anywhere. Sorry, no idea where that came from.

PMOS is probably broken for it, so I’d probably lean toward lineageos.
I’ll give that a try, thanks!
Thanks but I’m happy with Navidrome.
Perfectly fine, doesn’t change my question or that others may benefit from being aware.
Jelllyfin + Subfin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin) works well, I’ve been using it with the OpenSubsonic Android apps listed in https://www.navidrome.org/apps/?platform=android&api=opensubsonic without issue. e.g. Substreamer, Tempus, Airdrome, etc. all work fine with Jellyfin + Subfin.

Thanks, it’s good to know that this exists as a plugin.

What phone do you have?
Android has findroid and iOS has SwiftFin. Both native.
