1. 4/5Good player - half-baked UI

   It's a good player really. It seems to play everything well and the interface is generally really clean. This will probably sound like I'm picking nits, but there are a lot of things in the interface that just don't seem to be well thought out: -Movies that are part of a series get lumped together, even if you only have one file. So a single Mission Impossible movie won't be organized as "Mission Impossible 3", but rather "Mission Impossible Collection" - there's no way to disable this behavior -If you click into a movie or show from the home menu, there's a back arrow to get you back to the home menu. The back arrow simply doesn't exist in the "View All" menus, so there's no way to get back home without the sidebar -There's no way to stop a playing video without right-clicking. No stop or close button on the interface, just pause. There's more, but that's the point. It's like a good piece of beta software. The nuts and bolts are all there, they just have an interface that doesn't work as well as competing products.

2. 5/5Good alternative to Infuse

   I mainly use Infuse as a client of my Jellyfin server and VidHub replaces it pretty well plus it comes with a better gesture control in the player. However there is still some bug and missing features which I hope will get fixed soon. Once a video is marked as favorite, I can no longer undo it. I cannot create playlists or adding/removing videos to/from a playlist either, which is one of the very few ways to edit the library from mobile platform. Also, hopefully Jellyfin can be further integrated into this app, like another media source like the local library for instance, so I can search/navigate through the videos more easily.

3. 4/5Powerful player

   Infuse support for jellyfin has gotten so bad that I had to find something else. VidHub is awesome for that, very fast and snappy interacting with the media server, and I love how feature rich the player is - some stuff like the hold to speed up is genuinely progress and brilliant. The most glaring missing feature is picture in picture on iPad, but you can still play videos in the background audio only. Personally I’d like the option to default to my media server since I only use that and no SMB shares, would save a few clicks on startup. Will definitely do 5 stars if PiP is added. And please don’t remove any of the nerdy features in the player like bitrate and screenshot button to be more “user friendly”, it’s so awesome how it is and plenty intuitive.

4. 3/5Works really well. Only one major problem.

   The app overall does a great job organizing tv and movie files and such from my cloud drives. And I especially love the feature that groups movies together as a single series. The only major issue I have is that it uses the TMDB api to sort episodes, and to put it frankly, a lot of that information is inaccurate and causes certain files I have to get mismatched. For example for the 80s transformers show, TMDB doesn’t count the three part premiere as part of the series even though everyone else does, so those get draped over episodes that happen three episodes later. Or two part episodes, despite airing on the same day, are treated as two separate episodes causing a different episode to apply to part two. Or the wrong airing dates will be used so episodes will be out of order. If they used a different API like the one from IMDb that would be so much better as that information is accurate and matches how everyone usually organizes the episodes of shows.

5. 2/5External drive content missing

   Not sure the best way to reach the developer. I keep all my content on external drives. If that drive is ejected and remounted when needed, which is my normal practice, VidHub no longer sees any of the content of that drive. It still recognizes the file source and all the Meta Data from the content but it errors - Loading failed, please check the permission, network and connection information. Re-add does not work but I wouldn’t want to do that each time anyway. BTW Infuse does not have the problem. It sees the drives and appears to rescan them. Update to response: This solution does not work for me. For now I’ve stop using the app as it has limited use in my case. I’ve been in contact with the developer and hope to see a fix in an update.
