Hi everyone! We're incredibly excited to announce that we're launching a beta of Finamp's redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we're looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone.

The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.

Looks very nice!

Is this Winamp for Finns or a financial amplification device?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 20 points 8 months ago

This is Jellyfins version of Plex' Plexamp. A music player for your self-hosted media library

Financial amplification - in fact my bank account is no longer being drained monthly

An AMP for Jellyfin

[–] TheYang@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

I have some quite large playlists I'd like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn't do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle "only" the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hi, Finamp dev here. I think there might be a "limit 100" on accident in there somewhere, since that is our default "page size", so the number of items we will fetch from the server at once.
If you don't mind, you could open an issue on GitHub or hop into the discord server so I can better keep track of it!

[–] glasgitarrewelt@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

"Hop on the discord server".. Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

My issue is that I use a self signed CA, there is some progress in that area, but last time I checked not something usable on my device

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I ideally Flutter (the framework we're using to develop the app) would support this by default, but it seems like we'll have to jerryrig something...

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does importing the ca not help?

[–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That wasn't a thing last time I tried. Is that possible now? Or do you mean for my android system? I have the CA installed on my system of course, but iirc the flutter library they use does not use the system store.

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I did mean your android system. I'm not on jellyfin, yet, so not familliar with uts quirks.

[–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

The regular jellyfin app works with the system can store. This is only about finamp.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Very exciting news ! I am a daily user of Finamp and I love it.

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

How quick and useful is the interface compared to the regular Jellyfin app when playing music? I currently use the regular client, since I already have it installed for video content.

[–] Ptsf@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If you use iOS (I can't speak for Android) it actually uses the system music apis, so things like the dynamic island, airplay, transmission of Metadata information over Bluetooth to players (name, song, etc), and background play control all work with Finamp where they don't with the regular jellyfin app.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Finamp looks like what you would expect from a music player app. It's very straight forward to browse you songs by Artists and Albums. It's easy to make playlists and queue songs ans Albums. Lastly, you can download songs and albums locally and play them offline.

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 8 months ago

Okay. I can already do that in the normal client app. But this client looks really nice and I'm glad it's a thing. :)

[–] specseaweed@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it existed.

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Very neat! Been looking for a good alternative for Spotify for a while, I hope this can completely cure me 🙌

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Thank you for sharing this! I hadn't heard of this before.
