Android TV version 0.17

Anyway to go back to the old version so I can use LibVLC on ATV again? I originally almost dumped Jellyfin several months ago when I first got it because many files played out of sync and LibVLC fixed those issues. Now its back to having a bunch of out of sync shows and movies again. Whatever "bugs" it had was better than this.

Check these out for the reason it was removed:

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.
