Holy crap, this looks amazing. Has anyone tried it?
I've been using it for a little while now - I prefer the UI of the official app, but Wholphin is the only way I can consistently and properly play everything in my library with 0 transcoding.
I have a ShieldTV+AVR setup that can handle every media format out there, but for some reason the default app always transcoded Atmos & DTS audio (or just refuses to play if I disable transcoding entirely).
Wholphin does not have this issue, and now everything plays flawlessly with 0 overhead.
Might be a jellyfin setting. I discovered that while the players report the device capabilities (with some caveats), some edge cases make the server still transcode video because it instructs certain formats to always transcode. There are too many variables and the server plays it safe. The biggest culprit is bitrate.
Have everything set to max (AndroidTV is wired, easy gigabit rates to NAS). I've tried literally every setting I can think of and it just continually spits back transcodes for DTS & DA content.
Doesnt matter if video is 4k HDR Remux or 1080p encode.
It's the second most commented open issue on the Jellyfin Android TV Github (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/issues/281). If you can crack the case you'll make a lot of people happy :D
I've been using it for a couple months. It's been great, for the most part
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.
