I have a great music library on my homelab, but I hardly ever listen to it because I mostly listen to music on my TV.
I occasionally use the Jellyfin app, which is the best player I’ve found for TV, but it is not really built for audio and is cumbersome for searching, on-the-fly playlist, and continuous play.
Other apps I’ve tried are either worse in terms of features, or an absolute labyrinth to navigate with a remote. Most apps are designed for mobile and are somewhat to completely broken on TV, if they run at all.
I don’t mind if the app is not free as long as it works well enough for my family to use it, and it connects to the server. I don’t mind migrating my library to another service to get it working well on the TV.
Has anyone found an actually good Android TV app for hosted music?
@PancakesCantKillMe @gedaliyah Okay, you’ve piqued my curiosity. What does your playlist for pets look like?
Nothing unusual, really. I typically put on classical music, but oft times am in a hurry and Kodi will sit and churn on a genre, so the quick pick is everything including podcasts. If a podcast is going upon our return, I ask them what they’ve learned.
