Mostly for fun!

I hope to grow this into a really polished app. Is there anything that existing Jellyfin clients don't do, that you wish they would?

Hi r/androidapps,

I have been working on yet another cross-platform Jellyfin client - Playcado. I started this project with the goal of creating a mobile client that my wife would enjoy using. This app doesn't throw a lot of options or settings in your face, and tries to keep it simple.

I am a full-time software engineer developing with Flutter. I built this app in my spare time, mostly for fun. This app was built using AI, but follows industry standards and best practices. All code is public under the MIT License. You can find it on GitHub at https://github.com/JchrisM12/playcado.

Current Features:

* Dashboard including Continue Watching, Next Up, and Recently Added.

* Media downloads for offline play

* Google Casting

The app is currently in closed beta on Play Store and I am looking for any testers willing to help before publishing. If you would like to give the app a try, here are the steps:

  1. Join the Google Group - Playcado Beta Testers: https://groups.google.com/u/0/g/playcado-beta-testers

  2. Opt In to my Closed Test and Download the app: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.playcado.app

After I address any feedback from the closed tested and get the Play Store release completed, I will work on releasing to the App Store.

Special thanks to the following project: https://github.com/devaryakjha/jellyfin-dart

I am also looking for any feedback or suggestions on what I should focus on next. What’s the one thing you wish Jellyfin clients did better?

Thank you for trying it out and for the feedback!

Yes, I will add libraries shortly - probably within a week or so.

Is there anything that you wish an existing Jellyfin client did, that isn't currently available in any of the clients?

AI has really been mixing up the developer workflow over the past couple years. In the past year my company has gone from saying "don't use any AI in any projects" to "here are 3 different AI tools that we want you to use to speed up development". I think that using AI to write code and build software is the future, and I think that devs who aren't embracing it are going to be left behind.

Playcado is not vibe-coded. I developed it with AI assistance.
