No support for running in the background? #30

Open widardd opened 1 year ago

I guess no one thought of jellyfin on consoles as an audio player, there's no support for playing music while playing a game. That makes this app a total deal breaker. :/

I've done some baby steps in C#, how complex would this be to implement?

So I am working on a new native app with someone else. As of right now I don't think this would be possible as the current version of the app is just a web viewer and Xbox will not let you have a web viewer run in background.

Xbox doesn't even have a background audio player that works with dlna that I am aware of so that is likely your path of least resistance for your goal. But this solution would be local only.

I thought about DLNA but I need my listening statistics via listenbrainz and that plugin requires accessing jellyfin as a specific user.😅

Is your upcoming app on github already?

The native client I am working on is still private. Unfortunately I do not own the repo it got put on the back burner about 6 month ago I have recently started poking at it again.

I don't think this will be on the timeline until a native client has been established
