I wish they'd fix the screen off while audio plays on android issue.
Thats a client config issue not a server issue.
Go to settings > client settings, enable the background audio with the checkbox:
That definitely does not fix the issue. Not sure if it is just certain devices or Android versions or whatever that have that issue, but having that checked makes no difference for me in recent months. Even with that setting enabled, if I start playing a video then switch to another app, the audio keeps playing for three seconds or so and then just cuts out. The video keeps playing in the background, but no audio.
Maybe you can try to enable the "run in the background" battery saving option?
It's set to "Unrestricted":
Besides, like I say, the video does keep playing in the background, it is just the audio that cuts out after a few seconds.
Did you disable the battery saver setting? On some android flavours it can ignore the battery/background usage
How about battery saving settings? Or data saver? (I constantly use battery saver, and it's pretty aggressive with restricting processes)
You can try streamyfin which is enabled by default, but what's likely happening is that your phone is disabling it as a background app. I'd check your phone settings for power management/pausing background apps. I can tell you that audio only playback with the screen off and as a background app works just fine with JF (official client), I was just using it that way earlier today.
Try Findroid. I found it to be a better overall experience.
Or if just looking for a solution too music, Finamp is pretty good as well
I've been using Jellyfin for years, on different hosts. Music has never worked on any of my devices - there's a bug where you try to play a track and it ignores you and plays the first track off the album instead. You can literally never play anything after that. To be fair, I haven't tested this in six months, but it was a consistent bug for years before that and I've tried every client under the sun. Nowadays I use Jellyfin for video and Navidrome for audio instead and it's all good.
i wish they'd fix the black screen and not returning to home after episode ends issue/feature, and also not being able to scroll after manually returning home. can't use old enough versions anymore where it still worked right (2023 versions and older i think)
