I've been using it since the fork from Emby and it works well for what I use it for.

That said, they're right IMO to redirect funds to the clients. The Android TV app is in a really rough state. The regular Android and Web interfaces work great, Roku as far as I recall works well...but the Android TV one is really not good.

I haven't noticed any difference or problems with the Android TV application vs the Android or web client. What exactly is broken or not great for you?

The UI for selecting media only shows covers until you have your cursor over some specific media, which can leave you guessing if your album art isn't super descriptive.

Sync play is TERRIBLE with android TV. We tried watching a show over sync play on the LAN in two different rooms and it just constantly lost sync, commands didn't go through, etc. It was so bad we only tried it once.

Controlling the Android TV app from Jellyfin Mobile or web is awkward at best, basically unusable.

For me specific video files will freeze the app and render it unusable. It's really frustrating
