Looking for Jellyfin users to test the new VidHub iOS media server UI

Looking for Jellyfin users to test the new VidHub iOS media server UI

Hi everyone,

I’m part of the VidHub team. VidHub is a third-party iOS media player app that supports Jellyfin servers. We recently redesigned the media server-related pages on iOS, and before rolling it out more widely, we would like to invite real Jellyfin users to help test its compatibility and actual user experience.

This new UI mainly improves the browsing and detail display experience for Jellyfin servers, including the home media display, server switching, and movie detail pages. We hope to confirm whether these pages display correctly across different Jellyfin server environments, different media library structures, different iPhone / iPad models, and different iOS versions.

We have also added and adjusted some feature entries, including:

  1. Show Watched Time: supports displaying watched time
  2. Hide Private Servers: supports hiding private servers
  3. When adding a media server, we would like to confirm whether related information syncs correctly
  4. Supports adding multiple lines and managing multiple lines
  5. The home page supports switching between server lists, making it easier to switch between multiple media servers

Since Jellyfin users may have very different setups, such as media library size, movie and TV show structures, poster and backdrop scraping, collection categories, watch history, and server versions, we would like to collect more real feedback to confirm whether the new UI is stable, clear, and easy to use.

We will not ask for anyone’s server account or access permission. We only hope users can provide feedback based on their own setup, such as screenshots, issue descriptions, device model, iOS version, Jellyfin server version, or anything that looks abnormal.

We are mainly looking for feedback on:

  1. Whether Jellyfin media library posters load and display correctly
  2. Whether media library content updates correctly when posters are switched
  3. Whether server switching and media source display are clear
  4. Whether the new operation menu is easy to understand
  5. Whether features such as “Refresh Detail Data,” “Detailed Display,” “Show Watched Time,” and “Hide Private Servers” work as expected
  6. Whether there are layout issues, overlapping elements, or display problems on different iPhone / iPad models
  7. Whether the actual behavior matches the expected result shown in the video
  8. Whether anything feels inconsistent with how Jellyfin users normally expect a client app to work

If you are interested in participating in the test, please leave a comment or send us a message. We can provide TestFlight testing access for experience and feedback purposes only. No purchase is required.

To be clear, this post is only about Jellyfin client UI compatibility and user experience. It does not involve media sources, shared servers, account sharing, or anything related to obtaining media.

If this kind of post is not appropriate for this community, I completely understand and I’m happy to remove or adjust it.

Thank you.
