I was definitely waiting for this release! Was reading through the discussions on github a couple of weeks ago because of an annoying bug in version 0.15.12 and found out that it is supposed to be fixed in 0.16.

If you want to help out, contribute here. Seems like coding isn't ehats really needed to get app approval so anyone willing can help out

Does the Android TV version have any relation to what the Google Chromecast runs too?

[–] Niels@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

The newer Chromecasts with "Google TV" are just Android TV with a different launcher. If you have a remote control you have Android TV.

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think so. This version runs on AndroidTV and FireTV boxes. I use it on my Nvidia Shield.

I think the chromecast version runs from the web player directly.

Love to see it! Go Jelly 💙

I want to figure out how to run this on a single board computer

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

You don't need Android TV for that. There are options, but my preference is to use the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi and run Kodi with a nice skin.

[–] SeaMauFive@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming you mean the jellyfin server and not the Android TV client specifically.

Running the jellyfin server on an SBC is possible, I'm running it on a pi 4 right now. Personally, I'd recommend installing docker and running the service in a container. There's official docs for how to do so https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/

That being said, Jellyfin docs recommend against running on an SBC. I too, running it on an SBC, recommend against it. It can do the "happy path" well. But if the stored media is in a format that requires the server to transcode it for the current, it cannot handle it. The time it takes to transcode is several times longer than the actual run time of the media. You will have a bad time. I'm currently looking to change/upgrade the hardware to work around this

I have a server and it Jellyfin among other things.

What I want is a easy way to get it on my TV. There's Kodi but the Kodi plugin isn't nearly as polished or user friendly

[–] Niels@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I've never tried it myself but the Android TV version of LineageOS can run on some Banani Pis ^1.

I switched to Jellyfin from Kodi and it works really well for me. Kinda wish for more support for subtitles, though, especially for RTL languages.

Will the Amazon Appstore version for FireTV devices also get an update? It's very old now.

Other than that, a huge update, incredible work!

Many thanks

Fire TV is Android TV so yes it will also get the update! Unfortunately Amazon rejected the update like they often do so it will take a bit longer before the update is available on the Amazon Appstore.

edit: I just checked and it's live now!
