Can someone explain why jellyfin compatibility is helpful? I'm not aware of any jellyfin clients that function better than i typical subsonic one - unless this is just for people who want all their media in a single app?

    This was put in the actual files by the encoder. Check the "Description" field in your library of music files. I've also found weird tags in the comment field as well. I had to do this to my entire collection, I ended up just writing an opus script to just clear that field out.

    You will need to refresh your collection to reflect the changes and those "ads" should be gone.

    I use Tempus with Navidrome. Transcoding should be transcoding down to a format more appropriate for your bandwidth, so flac should be getting to your device as an mp4 or vorbis stream.

    17GB seems high unless something else is going on, like your Tempus client trying to download all your tracks to your device.

    Yeah, sure. Besides, the app only downloads when connected to the WiFi. My library is mostly FLACs and some of the songs are big..I've been looking at it and seems like a bug in the client that does not request the transcoded tracks once you disconnect the WiFi to the mobile data. That's exactly what I did.. Turned the VPN at home and just went to work. I usually turn the WiFi off first and then turn the VPN on.

    Even maxed-out FLAC won’t use anything like 17GB in an hour; doesn’t seem like a transcoding issue.

    Are you sure you didn’t accidentally hit an option to download your library locally to your phone?
