Describe the bug
When coming out of PIP, when i press back (or 'gesture' back in my case), i return to the homescreen of my phone instead of to jellyfin.

To Reproduce

1. Play video
2. Press home to go to PiP mode
3. Return to fullscreen video
4. Press back

Expected behavior
Pressing back should return to jellyfin (specifically the last view) instead of to the android homescreen

Describe the bug
When trying to play a x265 10 bit file using the jellyfin android app v2.0.0-rc2 the file is being transcoded with the given reason : VideoCodecNotSupported when I know for a fact that my phone (Xiaomi Mi 9T) supports it. When trying to play the same file using Plex or Emby it is able to direct play.

To Reproduce

1. Try to play x265 10bit file on android app.
2. Go to dashboard and see that the file is being transcoded with reason: VideoCodecNotSupported

Expected behavior
The file should direct play.

I detected a "bug" when playing a movie with subtitles in the new player with exoplayer. The background of the subtitles is black, instead of a transparent one. I hope I have made this publication correctly.

I have some examples of what this problem looks like right now:

After signing in and out from a server the app is permanently blocked in a loading screen with no way to login, logout or change server. Only way to unblock is to clear app data from android app manager.

Setting FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON on the window is necessary to prevent the device from going to sleep.

When i'm paying a song with jellyfin open in the background the song start to stutter (sounds like the song stops for a few milliseconds). As soon as i bring jellyfin to the foreground the song continues to play without any issues. Changing between background and foreground always results in this behavior.

Device: Pixel 2
OS: Android 10 (QQ3A.200805.001)
Jellyfin App: 2.0.0-rc2
Jellyfin Server: 10.6.2

I have an android tablet - B&N 10" Nook - that I use with the JF client. At the end of any TV episode that has another following, the "Start Now" button comes up at the bottom left. However, the particular position overlays the rewind button just below the progress bar. When I press it, instead of starting the next episode, it just rewinds the currently playing episode by 30 seconds. Is there a way to make the overlay buttons the absolute input for the entire space they occupy?

Sometimes when seeking the video the subtitles track becomes "out of sync" and starts displaying dialogue from a random offset (usually less than 10 seconds). This is really annoying, and the only workaround is to restart the video from offset 0.

When playing a video in HEVC format the player transcodes to H.264 but does not reproduce image. The same happens when transcoding a video due to problems with internet speed. When lowering the quality, this black screen BUG happens and does not reproduce image. My device supports H.265 and other audio and video codecs.

It should be possible to reuse some if not most of the code from #238.

Currently the only way to use SyncPlay is by disabling ExoPlayer

Describe the bug

Playing video with embedded ASS subtitles doesn't display any subtitle.

To Reproduce

1. Download mkv anime from this season
2. Let jellyfin server index said anime
3. Play said anime on smartphone

Expected behavior

Subtitle visible when playing video

Logs

No error is displayed whatsoever

System (please complete the following information):

• App version: v2.0.0-rc2
• Android version: 5
• Device manufacturer and model: Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo
• Jellyfin server version: 10.6.0
• The type of video player implementation used: default player, i think it's the "web" player

Additional context

Only workaround is manually set subtitles to "Off" and the select the subs track again. This sometimes triggers #46

To avoid having to change the build.gradle.kts file. This change was already made in the jellyfin-apiclient-java android library and seems to be working properly.

It would be cool if i can turn off my phone screen and the video keeps playing (possibly in audio only mode)

• Enlarge and move play/pause buttons to the center
• Increase touch-target size for fullscreen button
• Move title to top

We have 2 Android apps now based on Kotlin. I think it would be a good thing to have the same styling guidelines for both of them. At this moment the android-next app uses spaces as indentation while Android TV chose to use tabs.

The EditorConfig for Android TV is here. We could just copy it over and reformat all Kotlin files.

Describe the bug
I updated from the latest 1.x version to the 2.x beta channel in the play store and unfortunately the home icon was removed.

To Reproduce

1. Install app from play store
2. Add shortcut to home screen
3. Join beta
4. Update app
5. ??
6. Profit

Expected behavior
The home icon stays on the home screen.

Describe the bug
The "client settings" parameter page doesn't follow the display language used by the logged user but the language used by Android.

To Reproduce

1. Set a display language different than the phone's
2. Restart the app to apply the changes
3. Go to "client settings" and see the strings displayed in the phone's language

Expected behavior
It should use the display language specified by the user.

It's not possible to connect to a server within my Pixel 2 (API 30) emulator. I tried both my personal server and the demo server. Opening both in chrome or another app works. Logcat does not show anything.

The currently shipped ExoPlayer profile doesn't properly advertise the device capabilities in some cases, e.g. HEVC seems to be transcoded sometimes although it shouldn't need to. Since I'm not very knowledgeable into the internals of Jellyfin transcoding and profiles, I'd request others to help me with getting to profile to work properly with as many devices as possible.

As shown in picture on Samsung devices running Android 10 there is white line on the bottom of the screen and it doesn't look nice with Jellyfin dark UI.
Picture
It would be nice to make it transparent like on Iphones

This was already worked around for WebVTT subtitles, but reportedly also occurs with ass/ssa subtitles.
The issue lies within mapping the supplied track numbers to the track is that ExoPlayer uses.
The best way to fix that would be having Jellyfin send both track ids and track number in the request data, and add index pre-checks to the subtitles selection.

Describe the feature you'd like
The only thing I really miss with this app is some sort of download/cache mechanism similar to what you find in e.g. Spotify. At the moment it is possible do download individual media by clicking the download button, but this is downloaded as a regular download and not a cache, so if you then play the media from the app it is still streamed. This would be really useful for when you are travelling and want you favourite album or a film ready to be watched. For me this is most important for audio, but I can see that people would find it useful to be able to cache video as well like you can with e.g. Netflix.

If it was possible to then filter by "downloaded only" that would be extra useful.

When I input just "demo.jellyfin.org/stable" I expect the app to try https:// and if that fails http:// automatically.

Describe the feature you'd like
Add a button in the video controls to lock the screen from accidental touch inputs. MX Player had this feature for years and Netflix recently added this too. Would love to have it in the Jellyfin app as well.

Additional context
Here are some screenshots from Netflix and MX Player:

This used to work with version 1.0.2 AFAIK

Support playback quality controls in native player to limit bitrate (and resolution) by transcoding the video files.

Sometimes you have to put the server's ip again to be able to enter it. I think it is a bug that future updates will be resolved.

Release plan

1. Tag release candidate 2
   • Only available via GitHub, should be tested by people that can report issues
   • When any issues arise start work on a new release candidate before proceeding
2. Create a new (public) beta channel on Google Play
3. Push the release candidate to the beta channel
   • When any issues arise start work on a new release candidate and push it to the beta channel
4. Wait at least 1 week to catch issues from late users
5. Release 2.0.0
   • Tag 2.0.0
   • Promote the beta channel to stable
   • Update app on the Amazon Appstore
6. Re-apply for F-Droid (our previous request is based on the old Cordova app which does not exist anymore)

This only seems to happen with media with one subtitle track, as I cannot produce on media with multiple. I can still select no subtitles when media is playing, but not before. This also seems to break the auto subtitle selection.

Cannot reproduce on web (10.6.3), so assuming this is due to an older version of web being in the latest release of the client? Am on v1.0.2, will build master in the morning and see if this is fixed there.

Edit: To clarify, there's no drop-down selection at all, it's like there's no subtitle tracks at all (except there are, well, there's one.)

Play/pause events from e.g. headphones should be dispatched to ExoPlayer

Subtitles get displayed in a black text box, it would be nice for just the text to appear over the video.

Playing video with embedded ASS subtitles doesn't display anything. This is reproducible with most of my video files with ASS subs.

Describe the bug

In Android 10, I'm using the 3-button system navigation setting (not gestures). These 3 buttons remain visible and active on top of Jellyfin's playback progress bar and play/pause/next controls. I believe they should either autohide or the UI should end above this section of the screen.

To Reproduce

0. Use 3 button system navigation (System Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation)
1. Install Jellyfin (Beta) for Android from the Play Store (beta channel)
2. Start Jellyfin and connect/login to your server
3. Observe while browsing media that the 3 navigation buttons are transparently overlaid on top of the Jellyfin UI
4. Choose a song to play
5. Observe that the playback controls/display at the bottom appear underneath the transparent system navigation buttons

Expected behavior

I think it makes sense to use the full screen for video playback (with auto-hide navigation buttons), but for audio playback or browsing it may make more sense to limit the UI to just above the navigation buttons.

Describe the bug
Playback abruptly stops some time after pulling another app to the foreground.

To Reproduce

1. Start playback
2. Open a different app in foreground
3. Wait

System (please complete the following information):

• App version: master at 811d911
• Android version: Android 9
• Device manufacturer and model: Xiaomi Redmi Redmi S2
• Jellyfin server version: 10.6.3

Additional context
Judging by disappearing notification and app reloading when switching back to it, looks like it gets suspended, but all battery optimisations are disabled and system has plenty of memory left. Version present in play store has same issue, but much more often, about every minute, and even when Jellyfin was in foreground.

Pressing the right side of the screen doesn't skip the set 30s but only 5s

To Reproduce

1. Set forward and back skip to 30 seconds in settings
2. Start video
3. Skip forward and backward by double tapping the sides of the screen

System (please complete the following information):

• App version: 2.0.0-rc.2

I need to access my Jellyfin server differently if I'm within my LAN vs from the internet, but I can't seem to add these two addresses to the android app at the same time. I.e., 192.168.0.3 and mydomain.duckdns.org.

Since these are actually the same server, the last one I enter seems to overwrite the last I want to have both there at once.

I'm using the latest version of the android client from Google Play.

Describe the bug

I can't play anime files with Jpn AAC audio description. But if the audio file like the one below can run smoothly.
