Oops, a change made to the frontend in #jellyfin version 10.11.7 causes the mobile Android app not not properly report device information, this can in turn cause the app to refuse logins or play media.

Fixes for both the server and app are ready and I'll try to get them pushed out soon. Excuses for the inconvenience! 🤐

New app release that fixes this issue is now available.

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/releases/tag/v2.6.4

Note that we will not be publishing it to the Google Play store. So only for users on F-Droid, Amazon Appstore and manual installation.

Release v2.6.4 · jellyfin/jellyfin-android

This release fixes compatibility with Jellyfin 10.11.7 which introduced an unfortunate bug that made the app no longer work properly (failed login, invalid reporting etc.). A fix will also be avail...

@hetisniels is there a reason why it won't be published to the Google app store?

@brian the 2.6.z branch of the app is 3 years old now and compiles with an older Android version, Google no longer allows updates that target this version.
Unfortunately we cannot bump the version easily without a lot of other changes.

I did already make those changes for 2.7, they've been merged for well over a year. But other changes are not ready yet.
