Comments on Jellyfin for Android TV for Android

★★★★★ Bradley Moorfield · Sep 29, 2024

Great UI for playback from a Jellyfin server, works well with Chromecast with Google TV and it's remote

★★★★☆ Namita Prasad · Sep 1, 2024

Actually this app is really awesome, but there is a small issue with the video slider in Android TV when I am moving slider forward or backward the slider automatically goes to the starting position of the movie plz try to fix this issue as soon as possible, and I have used emby as well the UI of emby is awesome, but I want this type of UI in open source software like jellyfin. I hope jellyfin team will work to make their free project better than other competitors like emby...

★★★★☆ Steve Cunnington · Oct 21, 2025

Great app for Android TV, just please add DTS support without having to use an external media player, Plex & Emby can do it, I don't want to go back to Plex, JF convert here!

★★☆☆☆ Alexei Nunez · Aug 9, 2024

Removing libel super in the latest 0.17 released was a huge downgrade. Now users have to transcode if they don't want to use an external player which. External players don't send any playback info back to Jellyfin.

★★☆☆☆ Mario · Oct 24, 2025

Internal player has too many errors, most with subtitles, every third movie does not work at all. Thankfully you can use external players but it doesn't keep your watch status or minutes played and every external player you can find on Fire stick works better than this one.

★★☆☆☆ flo f · May 25, 2025

If you're lucky, you might be able to use this app. However, it's much worse than the web client for jellyfin which is a bit of mind-boggling. It's full of playback issues with different audio formats and yet not instructing the server to transcode, for which there is no workaround at all. I recommend all my users to use a different app/platform, so as not to need luck.
