Exploring Streamyfin: The New Jellyfin Client

Streamyfin is introduced as a promising new Jellyfin client that has garnered attention for its advanced features. Built with Expo and React Native, it includes functionalities such as skip intro and credit support, which enhances the user experience by allowing seamless viewing.
