Playlist downloading not working
New user here with the latest Jellyfin on a raspberry pi 4 with have 5K albums and 68K songs. I have some playlists which have 100+ tracks. While connected via Wifi I can do a long-press on the playlist and select Download. A few songs download successfully but then the next set of downloading tracks shows busy and then display red circle with ! mark. I have not been able to fully download any of my playlists.
Does Finer automatically retry downloading if there is a network error?
Thank you

I found a work-around:
Open the playlist and start a download of the first track
Go back to the parent playlist tab and start a download of the entire playlist
Finer does not crash and all of the tracks in the playlist download successfully

It started working much better after moving my jellyfin off of wifi and using Ethernet.
But now, I have a weird issue where the app (Finer) crashes when I try to download the tracks in a playlist. The running app disappears from my phone screen and I just see the app matrix on my phone. I haven’t figured out why. But I did notice that when I open the playlist and download individual tracks then the app does not crash. My phone is on my wifi (same network as jellyfin). If you want I can open another ticket since this issue has a different fingerprint from this ticket.

I got drastically improved performance by switching my raspberry pi from Wifi to direct Ethernet. Downloads are better, but IOS 26.5 is killing Finer. It seems to be with large size mp3. No transcoding; direct downloading of mp3’s.

Hi @Jay Nitikman , if your original file is large, you could try enable transcoding for download in settings page
