Jellyfin-android: Music preloading/caching/downloading

[Norde]

Describe the feature you'd like
Would it be possible to add the capacity of preload next items in current playlist (at least for music)?
The number of preloaded items would be configurable by the user (e.g: 1 to 50 next item for example).

It would be really useful during car travel were mobile network can be quite capricious (or nonexistent), the preloading would thus "mask" or at least minimize the problem.

Not for the web-based client. It is however planned to implement downloads/caching support in the prospective fully native client.

Is this due to a limitation with web application ?

Yep, pretty much.

@Maxr1998 do you know where we can find informations about the prospective fully native client ? your message is the only thing I found about it, nothing on the official website.

[nielsvanvelzen]

This repository is the native app.

About the caching capability, is it done or is it still in the backlog?
About the download capability : what is the procedure to download music within the app? Do we are able to listen to offline album/musics with this capability ?
