Sailfin

Is this still in development? I'm able vo login but can't see any media on the page. Only the 'Resume watching' and 'Next up' headers. Also it requires to login everytime I open the app.

Do you by any chance connect to your Jellyfin server over HTTPS? In that case, the application freezes most likely due to a bug within the old Qt version that Sailfish OS uses.

No, just plain http on my home network. The application stays responsive but never shows any media.

Apparently the autentication broke due to a very minor change on the server side, I fixed it in version 0.4.2, which should be uploaded quite soon.

Yes, it's working now and is actually quite nice for an alpha release. I noticed some errors popping when trying to watch heavier movies which the server needs to transcode but was able to watch them in the end still.

Now I might even transfer my whole music library to my server. Big thanks for the app.

EDIT: Also would be nice if you had some channel to make donations through. I wouldn't mind offering a cup of coffee or two to keep this project alive.

I added a donate button in the description for liberapay, if that would work for you. If you want to make a one-time donation, just set renewal on manual and cancel after making one donation :)

@ahappyhuman thank you for sailfin!

I installed jellyfin localy and worked pretty well with most videos I tried!

I also tried the https with self signed certificate which didn't work, any chance to add an option for that?

thank you in advance!

I've made an issue on GitHub for this over here, so that you can follow the progress. It sadly seems to be non-trivial at the moment, mainly due to QtMultimedia, which uses GStreamer internally, which uses another TLS stack than Qt, but is not exposed via QtMultimedia. Anyhow, if I have the time I'll try to get it implemented.

I'm aware that the current release is a bit large, I'm currently investigating in how I can shrink it down. The problem has to do with libraries not getting stripped, I will make a new release once I figure out how.

unknown:0 - Error: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

What GStreamer plugin i need? Cant play any video, and it not show categries of video, but i use it with emby... )

My initial guess of what's happening is that the apis of both servers have started to diverge. From a quick glance at the api documentation, there seems to be a significant difference in how stream URLs are obtained. Emby pushes the burden on the client side to select the correct stream, with the right transcode settings and so on, while Jellyfin expects the client to deliver information to the server about what it can play back and Jellyfin will recommend a stream for the device.

What probably happend is that Sailfin gets a response it doesn't understand when trying to request the stream URL, as it's a Jellyfin-specific endpoint, interprets this garbage response (which it shouldn't) and sets the URL to the stream to a garbage value. GStreamer tries to load this URL, probably gets a html response back or something and doesn't know what to do with it.

Yeah!!!
Work with emby!
Please, use only Emby compatible API)) really thank you! Nice to see jellyfin/emby client here!
