Jellyfin Server with HDMI - MicTie - 2023-10-14

Hi,
I have installed Jellyfin on a Raspberry 4b with no issues, and I am able to access JF within my home-network as well as from outside.

How can I make this possible:
1) My Raspberry is connected via HDMI to a Sony AVR. So I would like to listen to Music using my AVR with 5.1-speakers using the existing HDMI connection.
2) Control of JF should be via an Android phone.

Casting JF from my Android phone to the Sony AVR is working, but the sound quality is terrible. I would like to avoid any kind of streaming, as I have a direct HDMI-connection.

The Raspberry is running ArchLinux.

Any idea how I can make this setup possible?
Thanks!

From past forum threads, your options are limited.

You could use Jellyfin Media Player locally on your RPi. Control it with a wireless keyboard with trackpad. JMP also supposed game controllers. Probably other HID compatible controllers.

You could also use an Android TV dongle that comes with a remote like a Chromecast with Google TV.

Thank you!
I was hoping for a better solution ....
Maybe I just use KODI and YATSE
