Finamp Beta Update 0.9.22
Hi everyone!
This is a hotfix for Finamp 0.9.21, fixing a bug what prevented Finamp from pausing the music on interruptions or when disconnecting from Bluetooth devices.
We managed to sneak in a few other improvements too.
Sorry about the inconvenience!
[!CAUTION] We still don't recommend to upgrade to Jellyfin 10.11.x just yet! There are a bunch of known performance issues especially for larger music libraries, but the server team seems to be actively working on fixing those now. So we expect an issue-free upgrade path at the start of 2026.
We will of course inform you once our recommendations change.
TL;DR
New Features:
- Improved layout in settings, especially for non-English languages
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed playback not stopping on interruptions of disconnects
- Fix some radio mode not being available after starting a queue

What's New
Bug Fixes
- Fixed playback not stopping on interruptions of disconnects
- This is related to the new 🔗 "Reduce Volume on Interruptions" setting, but affected both states of the setting
- The default is still enabled, and because of these issues we consider the disabled state to be experimental
- Fix some radio mode not being available after starting a queue
- This mainly affected track/instant mixes, remote playback, and Android Auto
- Use the device name when reporting playback activity to the server on Android, instead of the device model
- Use correct color theme for the "Share Server" and "Authorize Quick Connect" menus
Other Changes
- Finamp now hides more network errors (timeouts, failed to fetch) by default
- The errors are still logged of course; if you suspect an error might have occurred, then go to the 🔗 "Logs" screen and look for orange or red logs
Upcoming Features
We have a lot of features planned for the future, and we're always open to new ideas. Here are some of the things that we're planning to add:
- A proper home screen
- CarPlay support
- Desktop keyboard shortcuts
- ???
You can take a look at the full list and current progress in the Redesign project.
We also have a more up-to-date hackathon project board: https://github.com/users/jmshrv/projects/5
One last hotfix before the end of the year, so that you can enjoy your winter break without any major bugs!
Thank you for using Finamp!
