I like it, and it's really stable thats the best part about it (auto-refresh rate and audio passthrough ftw).
But what I'm really missing is the ability to customize at least the homescreen to my needs without having to learn kotlin and android (studio) development. For example, an option to scale the whole homescreen is missing. With a 65" 4k TV, everything is just way to big, I can't zoom out like I'm used to with jellyfin-web. Other android tv apps, for example smarttube have this functionality and also can be customized big time, the ability to set the items on the homescreen and the order of them... just simple things, let me show specific collections or playlists as a homescreen widget (or at least a simple a combined FAVORITES tab), let me choose subtitle fonts, size, let me map remote keys (watched, queue, info, play random, with longpress actions), just let me set things as much as possible fit to my usecase and ui flow lol
I know, I'm dreaming. But it just shows there is a lot of things imo that can maybe improved.
But at the same time I'm to lazy to do anything about it, so I'm happy with the app in it's current state and am thankful for the developers!!
For anyone wanting to try something new, there are some forks of jellyfin android tv floating around that offer some sort of user customization, but may be not as stable as the official android tv version.
