    TL; DR all the oldest members who’ve already not really been contributing because they’ve moved on in their lives have officially handed the reins to the people actually doing the work.

      Glad to hear, the ones doing the work now will get more recognition and the one leaving can do more of what they want. Hopefully they had a good handoff.

    I always find the phrasing of “effective immediately…” to sound a bit hostile, but I hope the transition is smooth.

      Slightly better “this happened weeks ago but we’re just now getting around to updating everyone”.

        And that’s slightly better than “this happened weeks ago but we’re just now getting around to updating everyone because we were trying to hide the fact that we had a leadership change”.

      “Effective immediately.” = Hostile, forceful.

      “Effective yesterday.” = Mysterious, invites questions, makes you sound like a time-traveler.

        Effective as of the end of this sentence. This sentence I’m speaking right now. Period.

      Sounds like the rest of the team will continue so it should be similar? Seems like they just didn’t have the time anymore due to other life commitments.

      The linked post is fairly positive. I’m not too worried - we’re probably gonna see an uptick in user friendliness.

    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.

      I never understood why they don’t support the subsonic protocol.

      I mean… you might as well ask why the DLNA plugin has been broken for years. Or why they don’t add a custom HTTP header to the client app so people can lock access in their reverse proxy.

      As usual it’s a mix of not enough developer manpower and “I don’t use that so it’s not a priority” i.e. the whimsies of FOSS.

      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?

      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.

      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.
