Better late then never. The Xbox app for Jellyfin now has a new maintainer and its first release in 5 years.

The Jellyfin app on Xbox has been unmaintained for quite a while.
|
|
While it was on lifesupport for the last couple of years, we were occasionally fixing bugs.
|
|
|
|
With the last release now 5 years old, and the continued interest in Jellyfin being available on Xbox overall, I decided to take over at least the superficial duties of keeping it operational and releasing when there are new features or bug fixes.

# Xbox 0.9.0 release
|
|
|
|
This new release has now been approved and is available as a new version on the Microsoft store for up-to-date Xbox consoles.
|
|
|
|
It contains a number of bug fixes, but the main change is the switch of the web browser engine the Xbox app is using, to a newer and more feature rich Chromium-based browser implementation instead of the old, legacy Edge one.
|
|
This allows us to expand support to formats such as HEVC/4K and HDR on supported devices, in future releases after further testing.

# What to expect
|
|
|
|
I will be actively managing pull requests and try my best with bug reports, though we are still very reliant on your help with new features and bugfixes.
|
|
If there are enough features and bug fixes done and merged, you can expect more releases in the future, though I will not give a definitive timeline for that.
