• Background posters now support switching between landscape and portrait images
• Media servers now support media sorting, hiding, item count display, and refresh
• Added route switching, backup routes, and automatic fastest route selection
• Added support for privacy mode and password protection for media servers
• Added cloud sync toggles for both media servers and file sources
• Added search history, recommendation display toggles, and aggregated search controls
• Optimized the detail page UI separately for iPhone and iPad
• Detail page controls can now automatically adapt their colors based on the poster
• Movie descriptions can now be viewed in full through a pop-up
• Added quick episode selection

Please note: the 3.0 experience update has not been released on the App Store yet. It is currently only available through TestFlight.

Hi everyone, we recently made some adjustments to the media server-related pages in VidHub, mainly including Emby library browsing, the home page layout, movie detail pages, TV show/season/episode pages, and server switching.

Since everyone’s Emby setup can be different, such as the server version, reverse proxy method, remote access setup, and media library structure, we’re hoping to find some Emby users to help test it and see whether the new pages display correctly in real-world environments.

We mainly want to check:

• Whether media library posters load properly
• Whether movie and TV show detail pages display correctly
• Whether seasons and episodes can be expanded normally
• Whether Continue Watching, watched status, and playback history work properly
• Whether there are any layout issues, loading failures, or sync problems under different Emby versions or reverse proxy setups

If you’re currently using Emby and would like to help take a look at the new UI, feel free to contact me to join the test.

If you run into any issues during testing, screenshots or screen recordings would be very helpful. It would also help if you could include your device model, system version, Emby version, and connection method, so we can locate the problem more easily.

Just as a quick note, VidHub is a personal media player that currently supports Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, SMB, WebDAV, and other media sources. It is available on iOS, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

Thanks to everyone who is willing to help test. We’ll continue making adjustments based on your feedback.

Hello VidHub users,

The new VidHub UI is now being tested in the TestFlight version. Recently, many helpful users have shared feedback with us about issues they encountered, such as page display, poster refreshing, playback entry points, layout adaptation, and other details.

Based on this feedback, we have made a round of optimizations and fixes. You can update to the latest TestFlight version and try it out to see whether the issues you previously encountered have been resolved. If you still notice any display issues, inconvenient interactions, or playback-related problems, please feel free to continue sharing your feedback with us.

If you haven’t joined the TestFlight test yet, you can also contact me to join.
To join, please send me the email address you would like to use to receive the TestFlight invitation.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback. We will keep working to make VidHub more stable and easier to use.

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.
