[Android TV] No playable items - fhireman - 2025-03-14

I've seen my issue mentioned a couple of times on different forums but almost all were specifically linked to Nvidia Shield and mine isn't.
We're using Jellyfin with a Chromecast so I believe that's using the Android TV Jellyfin client.

But every few times that we start the Jellyfin application it shows a message that there are no playable items.
I tried to dig into the logging in the dashboard but could not really find a clear link to that message but sometimes there are some websockets warnings like this one:
"error receiving data: The remote party closed the WebSocket connection without completing the close handshake."
or:
"MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder "/config/data/playlists" is inaccessible or empty, skipping"

Launching it the second time launches the app just fine.


Is there something I can tweak or some more logging that I can access to get to the root of the issue?
Or is this something that needs to be fixed in the Android TV client?


Thanks in advance!

This is an Android TV client issue. And I have the same issue on my Google TV Streamer and Chromecast with Google TV 4K.

IIRC, someone already submitted a github ticket for this.

Thanks, I thought so already. I'm also using the 4K Chromecast with Google TV(I think? with the little white remote control).

I'm already sponsoring Niels on Github so it can be fixed a tiny bit quicker since I don't have a lot of experience with Android development outside Godot.
Would love to have helped on the client but don't think I can be of help  Upside-down-face


But then I at least know it doesn't have anything to do with my setup.
