I installed Jellyfin on my server but the Android TV app is just so awful.
It honestly feels like a webpage from 2005 with all the blocky elements, terrible scrolling, and no way to sort.
If you want to go to, say, Workaholics, you have to scroll through your entire library until you get there. There's no option to go straight to W. And, don't worry, the scrolling is very slow the whole time!
The search seems to work maybe 10% of the time. I've typed in the name of a movie and it wouldn't find it, but it did find episodes of shows that kinda match. I've typed in names of TV shows and it's found nothing. Both times, the movies and shows existed in my library.
If they can make it look and work better, I'd be happy to switch to it fully. All I'd need then is a way to pull the XMLTV file from Plex so I can record, too.
The Plex app for the Shield has a lot of bugs itself, though. I connected my Shield to a smart plug because it froze the system often enough that I needed to automate a way to restart it. Unfortunately I'd rather put up with that than the Jellyfin UI.
Hmm never had a problem with Jellyfin on the shield pro or cigar one. On the cigar one Netflix always stops showing video and just the loading screen.
