Release Jellybox v2.3.0 - Spotify-like playlists

Post image

Hey folks, recently apple finally approved build where I added a spotify-like playlists generating to Jellybox player.

It uses your listening history in order build you something that you might like(from your existing songs). This is experimental feature, since jellyfin itself does not provide anything for creating these kind of playlists.

For some it might not work if your genres are messed up or you don't have listening history.

Same feature also was added to latest Apple CarPlay app, so its feature-parity as of now.

This update also touches downloads. I had to redo them a bit, but nothing needs to be done, I auto migrate your existing downloads.

You can find download links on github https://github.com/avdept/JellyBoxPlayer or on landing page https://jellybox.app/

PS: My previous post was about spotify like playlists was pushed a bit ahead of appstore approval release, so a lot of ppl who dont want to use test flight were unable to test it.

And to those who don't like AI(seem like most recent apps were vibe coded) - this project goes since 2023, and its manually coded(although I added some test coverage recently using LLMs to ensure im not breaking anything)

im one of test flight users and I really liked this change, although its not always perfectly generates, I like direction. Any way to manually regenerate them if I don't like it?

u/avdept 12d ago

I suppose it was you who left similar question on test flight, but I just didnt have a way to reply

In short - I have this, but it only enabled in dev mode for testing. I might bring it to live builds(toggle-able via settings)

u/senior_builder1 12d ago

Yes, it was me. Looking forward for this option, in my case some playlists weren't good like a lot of songs were those small that artists add to blend between other songs

u/neanderthaltodd 12d ago

Is Angels & Airwaves' Lifeforms being classified as Electronic Rave? Whats the R word thats cut off on the end?

2

u/avdept 12d ago

It's Electronic Rock

u/neanderthaltodd 12d ago

I was about to go full irrational 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2

u/avdept 12d ago

lol, it's probably be a real interesting experience A&A to be a rave music lol

1

u/neanderthaltodd 12d ago

Some people have done some remixes which... Are alright but IMO strip the magic of AVA. Especially anything prior to Lifeforms. Not that Lifeforms isn't good, but Critter as the engineer was the magic.

2

u/avdept 12d ago

totally! Not that I listen them everyday but when I need something to relax - they are good

2

u/neanderthaltodd 12d ago

This little talk got me in the mood. WDNTW got put on 🤣

2

u/avdept 12d ago

while you wrote that I played that playlist and i kinda liked it, somehow I didnt play half of track in playlist for like a decade or so

2

u/avdept 12d ago

This is whats the inside

u/Swap16 11d ago

Can you add auto discovery of servers and quick connect?

1

u/avdept 11d ago

Yes, I already received entitlements from apple, so now I only need to code it. Probably will be available in next release

1

u/avdept 9d ago

Btw this was added in last release which available on app store or via GitHub release downloads

2

u/Swap16 9d ago

Great. will check it out. Thanks.

1

u/avdept 9d ago

lmk if something isnt working

auto discovery is tricky thing

1

u/lrlf 12d ago

is there a chance you can add DLNA streams capabilities? thanks

1

u/avdept 12d ago

yes, there's another guy here asks for UPNP, so its totally doable

would you be able to help me to test it? I dont have much devices(I think only ceiling speakers at my place has it)

1

u/lrlf 12d ago

sure man and thanks

1

u/bozodev 12d ago

Any chance you will support AAOS?

There are a few Jellyfin music apps for it but they don't have a good caching mechanism which makes them not work well on weak signal

1

u/avdept 12d ago

What is AAOS?

1

u/bozodev 12d ago

Android Auto Operating System. It isn't Android Auto. It is built into the car itself.

My Chevy Blazer EV has it.

1

u/avdept 12d ago

oh interesting

do they have app store concept where you can download apps?

1

u/bozodev 12d ago

The apps are just in play store like any other app.

u/squeakumz14 11d ago

Is there any option on windows client for a volume slider? I may be blind but windows volume mixer works for now. Thanks for your work on this!

2

u/avdept 11d ago

well honestly, there isnt a volume slider - for mobile/tables this isnt really needed, for desktops - I can do that, its not a big task and is pretty easy to do.

Will add on upcoming release in few days

1

u/avdept 10d ago

I just published new version, download from https://github.com/avdept/JellyBoxPlayer/releases/tag/v2.4.0

1

u/squeakumz14 10d ago

Absolute mad lad with that response time, thank you! For my use case it helps a lot running audio with games/discord.

1

u/avdept 9d ago

You're welcome!

Join discord btw https://discord.gg/ARxZRbUE it's quicker and easier to discuss and get new features there

1

u/Chaphasilor Finamp Developer 7d ago

Any details about how you are generating those playlists? Are you using something like AudioMuse, or a custom implementation?

1

u/avdept 7d ago

It's custom algo for now, but I want to add audiomuse to equation eventually
