Hey everyone! I've spent the last several months building "Dorsal", an iOS-native music player for Jellyfin with the features that I felt I personally wanted. Designed for those who like to see and listen to their music as an album-focused experience.

I'm interested in getting it in your hands to see what you all think. I have my Jellyfin server set up in a pretty basic way so I'm curious to see if it works well for others too! The code is open-source (MIT-licensed), I have a TestFlight open beta, and it is available on the App Store (it does have a price to support development, developer program fees, etc), so you can get it for free or use and support the production release, up to you! Here are the links:

I'm the solo dev, so I'm happy to try and answer any questions! Thanks everyone!

Thanks! Would you be willing to be a beta tester if I end up getting Navidrome support figured out?

[–] Sickday@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Absolutely. I use navidrome daily but the only client I'm aware of on iOS is substreamer. I'd be happy to try your app once support lands!

Ok awesome great to know, thank you!

I would be very happy to beta test if Navidrome were supported. When it is a finished product, I don't mind paying either. If you take a look, and Navidrome just doesn't line up with what you are endeavoring, that's cool too. At least you made the effort.

Good luck all of it.

I use amperfy with navidrome on iOS but I would be delighted to try out dorsal if it gets navidrome support!
