I tried this for the first time a few days ago and it seems pretty good.

If you hold the selection button on a movie/show theres an option to "Play with transcoding" which helped solve a lot of problems for me when playing things on older hardware in situations where the official Jellyfin app would incorrectly try to direct play content that actually wasnt compatible.

Long history of releases and Bugfixes, No AI contributions at first glance ... Could it be?!

Love it, integrating jelly seer means my partner can just discover shows and add them

Infuse is great...

If you pay. I'd love an alternative tho

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Holy crap, this looks amazing. Has anyone tried it?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've been using it for a couple months. It's been great, for the most part

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What about the lesser part... what happened?

On the Nvidia Shield the MPV backend doesn't really work, it has an issue with stuttering. Works great on my other TV, though. Besides that, just a few crashes early on, nothing recently, though.

I discovered wholphin several months ago and so far it's been fantastic for an Android tv client. The intent of the design is to be similar in UI to Plex and it achieves that very well even in it's early development.

I'd easily say it's the most polished client I've seen to date from a UI perspective even though I know there are some bugs people see (although they seem minor). For most people switching others from Plex to Jellyfin, the app is a great option.

Neat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?

Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use

[–] JuvenoiaAgent@piefed.ca 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Fladder works pretty well for me, but yes, there are other clients now:

Nice, I had no idea

I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

  • Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn't powerful enough to handle something that it's trying to do
  • Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it's UI and default settings over the others

I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

Can this be installed on Samsung TVs?
