What are the advantages over the regular jellyfin app? Seems like it maybe does less?

Just a personal use case, maybe it isn’t an advantage. But the official android app is just a web wrapper and the use of MPV as external player don’t allow self-signed local certificates (and they never will…).

Findroid does the job for you while using MPV under the hood and you can connect to your local DNS with self-signed certs without any issues :).

I have no issues connecting to my server when using my local DNS and self-signed certificates with the normal app either, or perhaps I’m misunderstanding you.

Ohhh? I tried to make it work even adding the certificate into de /data folder of MPV (rooted android) but it didn’t worked… (source)

I remember I even checked the logs via ADB and while I can’t remember the exact error logs, it wasn’t accepting my certificate.

Also android MPV is the only application on Android that doesn’t accept my self-signed certificate. Navidrome, HTTP shortcuts, bitwarden, Tempo… They all accept without any problems.

If you have some juicy info to share I’m all ears 👍 !!

Edit: It’s probably related to android 14 (god I hate it here…) But can’t revert to 13… The Stock firmware builds are Bitwise different.

Manually adding self-signed cert to mpv.conf still doesn't allow to watch https self signed URL · Issue #683 · mpv-android/mpv-android

I know mpv-android doesn't honor device trusted store, so downloaded cert to device and used --tls-ca-file on mpv.conf. This worked before, but has stopped at an undetermined version (late 2022?). ...
