Hi everyone! We're incredibly excited to announce that we're launching a beta of Finamp's redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we're looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone.

The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.

Looks very nice!

Is this Winamp for Finns or a financial amplification device?

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 23 points 6 months ago

This is Jellyfins version of Plex' Plexamp. A music player for your self-hosted media library

Financial amplification - in fact my bank account is no longer being drained monthly

An AMP for Jellyfin

[-] TheYang@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

I have some quite large playlists I'd like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn't do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle "only" the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

[-] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 5 points 6 months ago

Hi, Finamp dev here. I think there might be a "limit 100" on accident in there somewhere, since that is our default "page size", so the number of items we will fetch from the server at once.
If you don't mind, you could open an issue on GitHub or hop into the discord server so I can better keep track of it!

[-] glasgitarrewelt@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

"Hop on the discord server".. Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

[-] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

There is an open discussion on GitHub for people just like you ^^

But discord is just much less work to manage, and is a communications platform that I use all the time.
This is just the beta, it's not like all of the development and discussionn is happening over discord now. But when I have time to develop and need some user feedback to ask about their problems or opinions, this is just much faster to iterate on.

In the end, we do this for free, and it takes up our time, so anything we can do to be more productive does help!

[-] glasgitarrewelt@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.

Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.

My issue is that I use a self signed CA, there is some progress in that area, but last time I checked not something usable on my device

[-] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I ideally Flutter (the framework we're using to develop the app) would support this by default, but it seems like we'll have to jerryrig something...

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 months ago

Does importing the ca not help?

[-] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

That wasn't a thing last time I tried. Is that possible now? Or do you mean for my android system? I have the CA installed on my system of course, but iirc the flutter library they use does not use the system store.

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 months ago

I did mean your android system. I'm not on jellyfin, yet, so not familliar with uts quirks.

[-] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

The regular jellyfin app works with the system can store. This is only about finamp.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Very exciting news ! I am a daily user of Finamp and I love it.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 4 points 6 months ago

How quick and useful is the interface compared to the regular Jellyfin app when playing music? I currently use the regular client, since I already have it installed for video content.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If you use iOS (I can't speak for Android) it actually uses the system music apis, so things like the dynamic island, airplay, transmission of Metadata information over Bluetooth to players (name, song, etc), and background play control all work with Finamp where they don't with the regular jellyfin app.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Finamp looks like what you would expect from a music player app. It's very straight forward to browse you songs by Artists and Albums. It's easy to make playlists and queue songs ans Albums. Lastly, you can download songs and albums locally and play them offline.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 6 months ago

Okay. I can already do that in the normal client app. But this client looks really nice and I'm glad it's a thing. :)

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Very neat! Been looking for a good alternative for Spotify for a while, I hope this can completely cure me 🙌

[-] specseaweed@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it existed.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

My issue with using jellyfin for audio probably isn't fixable by any external app, I need to be able to use the folder structure, with some content it's the only reasonable way to sort it

Until then I'll still be using plexamp for my audiodramas

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

Integrating Music, Video (non-movie, non-TV), Audiobooks, E-books, etc, etc, into a single UI is so problematic.

Each app I use is better at part of it.

I like Jellyfin, but it struggles as much as others. I use Mediamonkey for phone sync of Podcasts, music, and some video.

Hats off to all the devs trying to herd these cats.

[-] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

I mean as far as I know it is possible to browse the folders directly in Jellyfin, at least using the web app. There was an option for it in the settings I think. But implementing that for Finamp might be a bit harder, sorry

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Iirc I can browse folders in jellyfin for videos not for audio, I have no idea why they are different but they are

[-] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

Interesting. Yeah Jellyfin's inner workings are complicated and strange...

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Thank you for sharing this! I hadn't heard of this before.
