I never understood why they don’t support the subsonic protocol.
Also, there’s no native Jellyfin app for my phone.
In the end I changed to Navidrome and use it with a subsonic-compatible app.
Also, my server is still PHP-free and I’d like to keep it that way.

I mean… you might as well ask why the DLNA plugin has been broken for years. Or why they don’t add a custom HTTP header to the client app so people can lock access in their reverse proxy.
As usual it’s a mix of not enough developer manpower and “I don’t use that so it’s not a priority” i.e. the whimsies of FOSS.
I’m guessing you’re not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.
What phone do you have that the jellyfin app and the jellyamp app are unavailable?
Edit: Also you can support subsonic with jellysub acting as a go-between. Considering its not a music-first solution, I’m not surprised that it doesn’t support subsonic natively, personally.
Edit 2: Its unmaintained but works as of the last time I tried it out, fwiw. It isnt exactly a complex codebase either if something got tripped up by minor changes.
Not the person you’re responding to but if I wanted to turn an old Asus MeMO Pad 7 into something I could stream from my PC with, would you advise me to install Postmarket OS, LineageOS, something else?

Jellyfin is written in C#.
Huh. yeah, no PHP anywhere. Sorry, no idea where that came from.
Jelllyfin + Subfin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin) works well, I’ve been using it with the OpenSubsonic Android apps listed in https://www.navidrome.org/apps/?platform=android&api=opensubsonic without issue. e.g. Substreamer, Tempus, Airdrome, etc. all work fine with Jellyfin + Subfin.

Thanks, it’s good to know that this exists as a plugin.

PMOS is probably broken for it, so I’d probably lean toward lineageos.
I’ll give that a try, thanks!
Thanks but I’m happy with Navidrome.
Perfectly fine, doesn’t change my question or that others may benefit from being aware.
