A community-driven fork of Findroid — the native Jellyfin client for Android. Think of it as a bleeding-edge channel: a place to move a little faster, try out community contributions, and experiment with new features.
Findroid is a fantastic app and the foundation for everything here. CE isn't trying to replace it — it's a faster-moving companion for people who want the latest community work sooner.
- 🚀 Moves faster — merges community PRs and ships new features without waiting on the upstream release cadence.
- 🔧 Adds CE-only enhancements — a rewritten download engine, Dolby Vision playback, richer subtitle support, and more (see below).
- 📦 Stays current — dependencies and the Jellyfin SDK are kept up to date via Renovate.
- 🤝 Two-way street — we sync improvements from upstream regularly, and upstream is welcome to take anything from here. It's all GPLv3.
- 📲 Installs side-by-side — a separate app ID (
nl.midasvo.findroid.ce) means you can run it next to the original and switch back any time.
If you like living a bit closer to the edge, CE gets community features into your hands sooner. If you prefer rock-solid stability, stick with upstream — and know that the good stuff here can flow back to it.
- OkHttp resumable download engine — replaces Android's
DownloadManagerfor reliable, resumable downloads (including SD card support) - Per-episode download progress & inline buttons — real-time status (pending, downloading, completed, failed) and tap-to-download/delete right in the season episode list, Netflix/Disney+ style
- Bulk season & series download — download an entire season or series with one tap, with queued concurrent downloading
- Configurable max concurrent downloads — limit how many episodes download at once (default: 2)
- Season download status on the show screen — see "3/10 downloaded" per season in the season selection dialog
- Redesigned downloads screen — active downloads with progress on top, completed items below, storage usage at the bottom
- Dolby Vision transcoding — DV content plays everywhere via device-profile-aware transcoding
- Wider subtitle delivery — PGS, VobSub, and DVB subtitles delivered without transcoding
- Configurable subtitle styling — colors, outline, font, and size
- Media segments — per-type skip / ask / ignore actions
- Chapters in the player UI
- "Are you still watching?" inactivity prompt
- Trickplay loader behind a developer toggle
- Hide-watched filter in the library view — persisted and shared across libraries
- Long-press to copy text on the movie/show/episode/season/person detail screens
- Auto offline mode — automatically enabled when there is no connectivity
- Export device profile from the About screen — handy for debugging playback/transcoding

Findroid CE uses its own application ID (
nl.midasvo.findroid.ce), so it installs alongside the original Findroid rather than replacing it.
Findroid CE is a fork — all the core functionality (the native UI, ExoPlayer & mpv playback, offline downloads, picture-in-picture, etc.) comes from upstream Findroid. We sync with it regularly; the process is documented in docs/upstream-sync.md.
All credit to Jarne Demeulemeester and the Findroid contributors for building the app this fork stands on.
