Neat! The UI looks good. Is this app specifically for JellyFin or can it interface with Navidrome?

Thanks for looking! It is specifically for Jellyfin right now. Though, like 95% of the code is not Jellyfin-specific, so I think I would be interested in supporting Navidrome in the future, especially if the way Navidrome's SDK returns music data is at least somewhat similar. Do you strictly use Navidrome? Maybe I should put Navidrome on my home server and play around a bit to get an understanding.
Do you strictly use Navidrome
Yes, I only use Navidrome. Navidrome is a very popular media library server. It might garner a wider user base if Dorsal was compatible. I'm not a dev, and I'm not trying to rewrite your app. Just throwing it out there.
Understood, thanks, appreciate the question for sure. I think I will definitely investigate Navidrome and try it out on my home server and see what it takes to pull music from there as well!
Any possibility to make it for android?
Wouldn't Finamp do this for you?
If the iOS version does well and ends up with a lot of usage then I would certainly consider it!
I would love something like this, that has android auto! Well done
This looks really cool. Thanks for creating it and sharing, Jared. Looking forward to testing it out.
That you very much, appreciate you taking the time!
This looks really nice! Glad to finally see a decent FOSS iOS music client; well done! Is there any chance that you have plans for navidrome support lined up for the future?
Edit: Didn't see that you've already answered my question.
Thanks! Would you be willing to be a beta tester if I end up getting Navidrome support figured out?
Absolutely. I use navidrome daily but the only client I'm aware of on iOS is substreamer. I'd be happy to try your app once support lands!
I use amperfy with navidrome on iOS but I would be delighted to try out dorsal if it gets navidrome support!
Ok awesome great to know, thank you!
I would be very happy to beta test if Navidrome were supported. When it is a finished product, I don't mind paying either. If you take a look, and Navidrome just doesn't line up with what you are endeavoring, that's cool too. At least you made the effort.
Good luck all of it.
