    I have installed the JellyfinZidooClient on my Z9X.

    However, I cannot log into my JellyfinServer. Authentification failed. I have created User with/without Passwords. No chance.
    On other JellyfinClients (FireTV oder LG-TV) no issue with log in. Also with the users I tried on the Z9X.

    Any suggestions ?

    This client hasn't been supported for years - I've no idea if it even still works.

    If you install the standard Android Jellyfin client you should be good.

    Thanks Mark, I will give it a try.
    (For me, it’s only a Fallback-Solution for HT5.0)

    Yeah - I use HT5 for 4K and Jellyfin for 2K and DVD stuff...

    99% of what I watch in the cinema is 4K so I use HT5 in there. I've got a load of older 2K stuff and even DVDs which I occasionally watch or just have on in the background while working etc and I wanted to keep them separate, so I use Jellyfin.

    What would be nice would a library selector in HT5...

    Me too, because my X5000 is still performing perfect with your Gamma-Curve. ;)
    In Jellyfin I have scraped all my TV-Shows, to keep HT5.0 clean

    The last Jellyfin server fully supporting Andy's Client is 10.8.13. It has direct path in GUI and Zidoo player can download subtitles on the fly. With Server 10.9 things start to breakdown slowly. Version 10.10 and above has login issues and no go.
    There is no quick way to roll back server version unless you have proper media database backups from the previous versions. Some of your other devices like Fire TV may have problem with new client if the server is old.
    Android Jellyfin TV client works well with Zidoo as external player and current server version but it has issues with the subtitles.

    If Zidoo is not supporting client apps on the older players Fire Sticks 2nd gen are excellent option with Atmos sound, HDR10+, DV and proper tone mapping if needed to HD SDR devices.

    I have two Z9X players and use HT 5 for my best collection of 4K HDR and 3D disks. All the rest with HDR and 3D again goes into Jellyfin for flexibility and streaming to any other device.
