Android TV version 0.17

[Fate]

Well it clearly was working good enough for some people (me included). Unfortunately you will never hear about a feature worked well before you remove it... So it's usually a bad a idea to see only the issue side.

I also think wasn't a great idea to remove libvlc, looking at the commit it removed a total for ~1100 lines of code. Total code is 65906 lines.

But I can relate that having to maintain the libvlc interface while rewriting the playback code is a drag that the devs didn't feel worth their time.

The straw that broke the camel's back in this case was that LibVLC went unmaintained for 2 years which means that it has some unpatched security issues.

Well it was already labeled experimental....

You could also disable libvlc by default and just let the user decide to take the risk or not. Since we talking about android tv, I doubt many are fully exposed to the internet compared Android devices which are directly connected to the internet.

I can't play any of my DVD-Backups that I put on my server as mp4 since this update on my chromecast with google tv.
Is there anything I can do about that?
The player just says something like "too many errors giving up" at the bottom.

@NeoCortex - Can you start a new thread in troubleshooting and share your full jellyfin log via pastebin?

[NeoCortex]

Okay,I will see what I can do. I kind of have to find my way round this forum.

I don't seem to be able to play transcoded Dolby Vision files on my Nvidia Shield.  Direct Play DoVi works great, as does HDR10 Direct & Transcoded.  

But for whatever reason, Transcoded Dolby Vision comes through as a 1-2 frames/sec slideshow (even though the Jellyfin logs show it transcoding at greater than 1X speed).

EDIT: I checked this same video on a CCwGTV 4K, and it transcoded just fine. Cleared data on the Android TV Jellyfin client on both the Chromecast & Shield so I was working with a clean slate. The Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 continued to be unable to play transcoded DoVi, while the Chromecast played it just fine.

@RxBrad - please start a thread in troubleshooting

Jellyfin Android TV is my favorite client. There isn't anything as nice as it although it could benefit from more home screen sections.

You could also disable libvlc by default and just let the user decide to take the risk or not. Since we talking about android tv, I doubt many are fully exposed to the internet compared Android devices which are directly connected to the internet.

Yeah, I first found out about this "upgrade" after my Fire TV Stick auto-updated the Jellyfin client and I lost the Audio Delay feature.  It's gone completely unwatchable on me.  I don't have any sound equipment, just whatever speakers are built into the TV and A/V is almost always about 300ms out of sync.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get Fire TV Stick to downgrade to an old version of the app.

[TheDreadPirate]

You can't downgrade the version of the Android TV client. You have to download the APK for prior versions from the git repo and side load it.

Hi! Like awh, jellyfin isn't usable for me without the ability to adjust the audio delay. Is there any way that could get added back in somehow?
