Missing "Home" and "Favorites" option on top bar in Amazon Firestick - user84 - 2025-02-12
I've watched some YT videos that show a top bar with "Home" and "Favorites" at the top. But my 4k Firestick doesn't have it. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

The Jellyfin AndroidTV app does not use the Jellyfin WebUI, instead featuring its own custom interface.

I've often wondered why this is, is it a technical limitation of the android tv platform, or is it a specific decision made for other reasons?

The WebUI is sub-optimal for TV interfaces. I personally prefer the native interface of the Android TV and Roku apps.
There is still a "home" and "favorites". But only once you've entered a library.
This is not a limitation, just a design choice.
