I downloaded a few things thinking I could watch offline. Turns out you can’t. Does the app have a way to remove the downloaded content?

If you want a jellyfin app that actually manages the downloads, letting you both watch and delete the downloads in the same app, try Findroid.
Like already explained, the web-app based clients just download the media files. You can obviously watch them using any media player that way, and delete the files when you’re done, but it makes things a bit clunky.
For music, there’s Finamp (FOSS) and Symfonium (Paid, but really good, and with active dev).
Streamyfin is nice as well, and is open source
Cross-platform, too! Neat.
Now I have a new client to recommend to my dad. Findroid is android only. (As the name suggests)
Yes! It’s not perfect, but far better than the official apps. From my experience it still has some bugs here and there but still usable.
Just found Fladder, too. It’s even better, imo.
Works on desktop operating systems, even.
Looks promising
Unfortunately, not a fan of the android feel it has, and the app isn’t available on the apple app store yet
it if works well, I might consider it as a backup app
I’m mostly hyped to find something that can sync media to local storage on something like a laptop, without it just being a bunch of files in a folder you play in vlc.
It also runs in a browser. I’m testing replacing the default webUI with it.
Once it’s on the app store, it’ll basically be available on everything. The same UI everywhere, but with features like offline media, unlike the default webUI.
True
I hope it works great then! Most free clients that support local download (or syncing as they call it) often have bugs
