AndroidTV client library layout defaults - Haioken - 2025-04-23
Hi All,
I have a slightly odd problem with the Android TV client.
In display preferences for all libraries - I have the following settings:
- Image Size: Large
- Image Type: Poster
- Grid Direction: Vertical
- Enable smart screen: Off
When the Jellyfin app or my device (nvidia shield) is restarted, they seem to switch to a default view for the first time a given library is entered.
All subsequent uses of a given library follow my preferences with no further intervention required.
The TV and Movies libraries seems to default to smart screen, where Anime library appears to default to a horizantal list of small posters.
If I press back to exit the library view, and re-enter it, the display preferences I have saved are used.
So for example:
- I press "Back" to close the Jellyfin app, returning to the Android Launcher
- I click the Jellyfin icon to open the app
- The top row of my home screen shows my libraries - Anime, TV and Movies.
- I select "Movies"
- Movies loads the smart screen
- I click "Back" to return to the Jellyfin home screen
- I select "Movies" again
- I am presented with a vertical view of large posters.
Is this a known issue, something I've done wrong with my client configuration, or something as yet undiscovered?
