Offline downloads

I'm new to using Jellyfin and the main reason I switched from Plex was having an easy way to access to my library when the internet goes down.  Now that I'm going on a plane trip next week, I'm downloading a bunch of movies/shows on Netflix and such.  I wish I could do that same in Jellyfin.

You can, but not with the official apps. If you have an Android phone, check out Findroid for video and Finamp for music. Both have offline modes and download management.

I read about using that but that won't be good for my kids to use. Hoping that version 10.9 incorporates this. I'm doing my best not to get Plex Pass.

You can download media now with the official apps, but you need a separate player to play them since the official apps don't have an offline mode. AFAIK 10.9 isn't going to have an offline mode.
