When it comes to Jellyfin, we guarantee that there is no involuntary tracking, from the server to the mobile apps. This still remains true, even with today's update to the Apple App Store.

For many projects, distributing binary assets is easy: put the files on GitHub and you're done. It's not something many think about. But at Jellyfin, we needed something more robust, something able to handle our needs more elegantly than GitHub or a basic web server could. And both for those interested, and for those supporting other similar projects, I'd like to share how we do it.

We're happy to announce the immediate availability of the Android mobile app on the F-Droid store. The F-Droid version does not contain any proprietary libraries and builds are fully reproducible.

Our GPG key for signing our Debian and Ubuntu repositories (https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian and https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu) is set to expire next month.

Jellyfin for Android version 2.1 is here with support for Android Auto.

This will be a net benefit for users and developers alike!

Videotape is a free lightweight video player for both Windows 10 & Xbox. Their new 3.0 version now supports Jellyfin!

After months of work, here comes another behemoth of a release, this time with over 30 major improvements and tons of fixes.

There have been several changes to plugins for the new release. Here's a quick post going over the biggest updates for developers and users alike.

Packaging and building binaries for releases and testing has long been an issue for us. From fighting with duct-tape-and-coat-hanger scripts, to testing breaking changes, to massaging official releases, how we were doing things for the last year-and-a-half needed some improvements.

Luckily, today they are all completed. In this post, I'll detail the changes as well as what the entail for our users.

For a brief TL;DR: for most users of our stable releases, not much will change, and you will upgrade to 10.6.0 as you always have. For anyone using nightlies for testing, advanced setups, or who are just curious - read on!
