    Hi everyone

    As far as I am aware, there is no option to send money to the project. That is kind of a shame. I cannot code (my skills do not go beyond powershell scripting unfortunately) so I cannot help. This family is using Jellyfin very much, though  and I personally rely on it on my commute and, I hate to phrase it like that, Jellyfin is letting me down very often for that task.


    Couldn't there be a feature bounty? Like the better downloads function on your feature request page has over 1200 upvotes. Couldn't people send a cash amount to that feature and if the feature is implemented inside one year, the bounty could be claimed by involved devs?

    I am very aware that it might lead to internal strive and bickering so I see why the project would be reticent but I have seen people ask for better downloads (and integration of said downloads into the app) and nothing has been done as far as I am able to tell. It is a bit frustrating.

    To be honest, it feels like the response to community is as glacial as Plex. Sure, at least this is free but I don't mind paying for a service I use this much... I'd actually prefer it IF my contribution had actual real world positive impact.

    if you go to the github https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin on the right side you will see "Sponsor this project" where you can make donations at https://opencollective.com/jellyfin

    if you want to pay for features you're probably better off on upwork.com where the capitalist programmers live

    if you have an issue you should start a new post and describe it in detail, if it is possible to be fixed then people will be more than happy to try and help

    lastly if it's a lack of feature then you can request features at https://features.jellyfin.org

    One of the Jellyfin devs put it quite nicely on Reddit a few months ago. I'd recommend giving it a read to see why they don't do bounties.
