I don't normally use that app but I figured I could do a quick test for you - the stable version (0.15.3) does not seem to work on my end. It does connect to the Jellyfin server (10.11.1) but nothing loads after that.

It doesn't look like findroid has had any stable releases in over a year so it may indeed be showing some incompatibility issues.

EDIT: Re-tested, it does seem to work as long as you have video libraries enabled on the Jellyfin user (e.g. Movies/TV). My earlier test was with a Jellyfin user that only has Music enabled, I did not know Findroid does not play music. (most of my Jellyfin mobile use is for music)

    Funny, I also did a quick test with the most recent version and it seemed to work fine at first glance...

    Works for me too, with Findroid 0.15.3 on jellyfin server 10.11.1, did a clean install just to test for OP.

    If the app was still installed and logged in when upgrading to latest major version of jellyfin server, the other poster might have to clean cache on the app. I had to do this for all my current jellyfin android app sessions, otherwise it wouldn't connect to the new jellyfin instance after I upgraded

    If there has been no stable releases in over a year it might be time to look for alternatives until activity is shown on the project again

    Seems to be working for me with Findroid 0.15.3 on jellyfin server 10.11.1, did a clean install just for this test, just also tested downloading and offline play pay, that also seemed to work.

    If the app was still installed and logged in when upgrading to latest major version of jellyfin server, the other poster might have to clean cache on the app. I had to do this for all my current jellyfin android app sessions, otherwise it wouldn't connect to the new jellyfin instance after I upgraded.

    Minor update, I edited my original comment above. The app does seem to work with Jellyfin 10.11.1.

    Maybe I'm not the best test candidate LOL... I usually use the Android Jellyfin apps for music so my original test was with a Jellyfin user with only music libraries enabled.. Findroid does not like that apparently. Once I logged in with a user with TV/Movie libraries enabled it seems to load and play video.
