AndroidTV libVLC or Exoplayer - tomstephens89 - 2023-08-19
Hi there,
I have a couple of Amazon Firestick 4k Max with the Jellyfin app installed. On these, Exoplayer is frequently unable to play media, especially larger x265 MKV's. However even when transcoding down, it frequently crashes out. LibVLC however appears to work just fine.
On my Nvidia Shield TV Pro, Exoplayer appears to work well, it plays the same movies direct stream without issue.
Are there known issues with either player? Is one prefferred over the other and what might the difference between the Firestick and Shield versions be considering they are both Android TV?
Thanks
