JellyPod/README.md

jellyPod

Control Jellyfin music playback from your Pebble with an iPod-like interface.

Supported Phone Clients

jellyPod requires a Jellyfin client to be running on your phone to handle playback. Not all clients support all features of jellyPod. Tested clients are detailed below.

If a client is multi-platform and a platform isn't listed, it does NOT mean it is unsupported, but rather just untested.

Legend

• ✅ = verified (supports all features of jellyPod and prefers offline playback of local media over online streaming)
• ⚠️ = usable (functional with missing features/bugs detailed below)
• ⛔ = unsupported (does not work well or at all with jellyPod)

MacOS

Opinionated Design Philosophy

I made jellyPod to suite my tastes. Everything listed below is non-negotiable and will not be changed.

• No playlist support
  • Playlists encourage poor listening habits that lead to portions of your library being ignored while others are overplayed
• True sequential playback
  • Your music continues to play in order even after you exhaust the tracks on the selected album and by the current artist
  • The next album is chosen by release date and the next artist is chosen alphanumerically
• Shuffle at every scope
  • You can easily shuffle artists, albums (from a given artist), or all tracks
  • Shuffle buttons for single discographies/albums are hidden: scroll up to find them
    • This makes playing sequentially the default
• Multi-client/device support
  • jellyPod is not just a remote for your phone
  • The client to control is determined by your most recently active session under your Jellyfin user
• Classic design
  • Inspired by the 4th generation iPod
• NONE of this application, nor any art/assets used in its creation, was generated by AI
