    Interesting because the jellyfin app can double tap to skip as well as download media for offline playback.

    I have both and UI seems like the only difference between the two (findroid looks MUCH better) except you have no access to any admin, profile, or library settings or functions (like scanning for new media or fixing metadata) in findroid.

    Multi-server and multi-user use also seems better UX-wise on findroid, though I doubt that is a super common use on a single phone.

      The official app does download files for offline viewing, but it downloads the file to your downloads folder, like a web browser.

      Findroid downloads the file to the apps internal storage and plays it back in-app.

      Some other platform-native third party JF apps like JellyFlix and Streamyfin allow you to transcode your downloads for smaller files, different resolution, and file compatibility. They also download to the app storage and play back in-app
