Android client alternative - dduniam - 2024-05-07
So, I'm pretty new to Jellyfin. The server side looks pretty good so far, but the Android client for TV is, well, very average at best. Is there a better Android client out there ? I have an Nvidia Shield TV Pro with Kodi installed using Windows Media Server, can Kodi be used to connect to Jellyfin please ?

I come from the opposite. I think the JF Client itself is quite good and clean and i happy with it. But even on the Shield 2019 Pro it struggels to play some DTS files, while Kodi (or in my case CoreELEC) plays it all.
There are 2 addons for KODI in extra repos(https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi/) + the Kodi Sync Queue (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/plugins/) plugin for the server to keep everything in sync.

Symfonium is amazing. The only downsides is that it isn't FOSS, and it's $3 dollars to purchase. You can get a free trial and see if you like it.

The Finamp revamp (currently in beta), deals with all the issues I had with Finamp that drove me to Symfonium initially. I'd choose Finamp over Symfonium now.
