request for UI enhancement....

[RashikFarhan]

Findroid app is stable and work fine...But I think some ui enhancements will be amazing...Like:

1. A featured section in home screen like netflix, amazon prime
2. continue watching and all other section with poster photo insted of thumb one...(that'll compact in a small horizontal screen)
3. right below featured, small buttons for my medias
4. right below Libraries section two buttons like Geners and Trending (or ongoings or whatever you want)
5. Current my media section (which we can access from bottom bar) can be used as Advanced seach...for that, pls include options in libraries, (the one we get in web client Library)
6. Favorites section can be called Collections with playlists made by user with favorite's as a section too... Of course, these are just suggestions...I know you are working hard to fix other bugs but if possible, this will be really awesome...Thank you for your amazing work...(attached image for reference)

Featured and trending sections don't really make sense because jellyfin doesn't have those things because it's just your own media. Same with favorites, that's the way jellyfin implements it so findroid can't change it

That's why I've said 'or anything you want'...Could be Latest shows...It's just a image from a third party anime app...And by featured I refered to the section of netflix and other apps...we can have latest media or continue watching tab there

1. As Jellyfin works on a per-Library setting, a global featured section will likely have to be implemented in Jellyfin proper before being worth implementing. Jellyfin also only contains whatever media you add to it, and thus doesn't really fit the use-case of commercial streaming services trying to drive engagement with the platform and keep users paying.
2. Continue Watching uses the episode thumbnail for shows, and movies uses the cover image. While the option to change that would be nice, that'll likely also need to be implemented in Jellyfin proper first.
3. I'm not sure if I understand. Both on large and small screens, you have multiple buttons to enter your libraries. The "Latest <Library name>" sections contain a View all button, and you also have either a sidebar or a bottom bar where you can see all Libraries and enter whichever (so long as it's not a Mixed Library, because that's not supported).
4. These are implemented in Jellyfin proper (Named Suggestions and Genres), but due to its per-Library methodology, you'll only find these within the specific Libraries. Currently, Findroid does not support these, but that may be added in the future, given time to mature, as it's in its earlier stages of development.
5. I don't understand. You have the search tool at the top bar on big and small screens. The "My media" button only shows your Libraries and the same search as elsewhere. The search is using the same API that Jellyfin Web is, and the results are of the same quality as you'd get there.
6. The names shouldn't be changed, as they're named after features in Jellyfin, which cover different use-cases. Collections are global playlists available to all users of your Jellyfin server, while Playlists and Favorites are per-user.

I did find your message somewhat difficult to parse, but I hope the above is satisfactory. Personally, if the missing features are of critical importance to you, I'd recommend simply using the first-party Jellyfin app for now, and keeping an eye on this project as it matures given how early in its development cycle it is.
