The releases for the Android TV app and server are entirely separate, both projects are worked on my different people too (Android TV is just me). I do NOT rush releases, and you can see that by looking at the beta cycles that often take about a month with multiple versions full of bugfixes.
While I am working on the rewritten playback code, I also have to maintain all other parts of the app and review pull requests. This takes a lot of time. There are some people contributing fixes to the codec support in the old playback code which I extremely appreciate, but they often come with new bugs that sometimes makes playback even worse. Unfortunately that happens because we're not a company with hundreds of devices to run tests on.
Anyone can donate to the Jellyfin project (won't go to people) or to individuals like me (https://github.com/sponsors/nielsvanvelzen/) if they want. But we don't guarantee anything by donating. That's the nature of the project.
