For some users images no longer worked in the @jellyfin for #AndroidTV app since the 0.18.0 release. We've finally figured out what was causing this and a hotfix is now rolling out to the stores!

#SideProject: with the rise of #linux based SBC and all the awesome things people do with them I was thinking but with the fact that they are increasingly not cheap, is there a source of #linux devices that could be hacked to be useful.

After a bit of research I thought #AndroidTV boxes might be a good target, there are loads of projects putting Linux on them which is a good start.

So off to AliExpress I go, after a bit of browsing I take a risk and order a cheap (£20) androidtv box which claims to have a allwinner H313 and the option of 8Gb ram...

Here begins a little hacking thread of when it arrived 1/n

A new release of @jellyfin for #AndroidTV is now rolling out. Version 0.18.5 fixes some small issues you probably haven't encountered!

I'm continuing work on the 0.19 release which will have one of the most requested features. Unfortunately life is very busy so progress is slow. Much thanks to the complete Jellyfin team, all community members and my GitHub sponsors for all the support!

Screw that.

I am proud owner of a dumb TV, and until couple of month ago owned a dumb TV subscription at #KPN Netherlands. Quit that, trying without #TV .. but decided to reactivate. So I renew my subscription, received a new set-top box.

Oh noos! comes bundled with #AndroidTV.

My telecom provider forces me to sell out to #Google, an #Advertisement & #SurveillanceCapitalism giant.

Literally the whole anti #privacy shenanigans forced through the throat.

NO WAY!

I'm not having much #luck with my #AndroidTV boxes. One Nvidia died after 4½ years, the replacement after 2½ years. Got an #Onn #GoogleTV box after that, and today, after nine months, it's gone into a boot loop. Or more properly, a home screen loop.

When the box is about to get to the home screen, you see gray boxes and rectangles where pictures and text will appear, then the pictures and text do appear, then the screen blanks out for a second, then it goes back to gray boxes as the loop continues. (Tried to upload a clip, but that failed twice.)

What #MediaPlayer should I buy next, expecting it to last five months? #StreamingBox

Voy a lanzar una consulta al fediverso.

Tengo una tv Xiaomi de 32" que compré muy bien de precio hace unos años. El caso es que desde siempre el launcher es insufrible.

¿Alguien conoce algún launcher para androidtv que vaya bien y a ser posible que no tenga publicidad?

Muchas gracias por adelantado.
