Posted this link earlier and it got deleted with no mod log. Anyone able to explain so I can avoid future issues?

I already have lifetime but there have been increasingly more and more yellow/orange flags recently.

For you jellyfin folk: Is there a good solution to being able to cache/download episodes/movies ahead of time for "offline mode" with any of the android clients yet? Last time I checked that was a pain point and most solutions boiled down to "just download the file and use VLC". At which point... why am I running a media server when I can just mount a samba share at home?

Yes, an Android app called Streamyfin.
