The third beta of @jellyfin for #AndroidTV version 0.19 is now rolling out to beta testers on Google Play. Currently about 50% of the users will receive it and I'll keep slowly increasing this. 
In this beta the main change are more improvements to HDR detection in addition to fixes for a few small bugs.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! It's time for a new edition of the Fediverse.Games Magazine!
Today, @flwwhtrbt catches up with the developer of Batocera, @BobDendry rants about his struggle levelling up his home theatre setup, and more!
There are a lot of changes coming to the @jellyfin for Android TV app! 
While a lot of them are not directly visible (like improved code quality and refactorings) some of them are.
The most recent change is an entirely new design for the photo viewer 
! It now shows more information and is made to be extensible so we can easily add requested features to it.
My subscription for IPTVX ended, and I decided to try out UHF instead, having read good things about it. It seemed to be better supported than IPTVX, but more importantly, it offers a one time payment option, even if it's steep, which I'm fine with (you get what you pay for).
I'm pretty sure I'll be continuing to use IPTV for the next 5-10 years. It's been nearly 8 years since I started using an IPTV service!
Even if it's only been two weeks since I started using UHF IPTV, it's been fantastic. A quick interface, no waiting 1-2 minutes for the playlist to load every time, and a good amount of customisation offered as well! Most importantly, it has full support for all HDR types.
I tried keeping an Android box alongside the Apple TV for Tivimate, but it was a pain to keep switching between the ATV, which is superior in every aspect except no Tivimate, and the Onn 4K Pro, which was just used for Tivimate.
I ended up giving the Onn box to my parents, who greatly appreciate it.
So I'm quite happy with UHF IPTV, and I hope it remains a stalwart option.

I have an amazing setup at home with Jellyfin and other self-hosted apps.
Now I'd like to get away from Roku and I think the easiest way to do that would likely be an unGoogled Android TV box.
Does anyone know of an UnGoogled Android TV box?
If not, any suggestions for an out of the box TV setup that will let me run Android or Roku without the spyware and ads?
Note that I don't want to build the hardware myself (been there, done that in my 20s), and I don't want to run plain Linux and use a web browser. I want to run apps (likely Android apps) on the TV using an out of the box remote, and connect to my Jellyfin and other home services).
Creo que de una de las cosas de las que me arrepiento es de haber comprado televisiones con #Roku y no con #GoogleTV (#androidtv)

KDE's Android TV alternative, Plasma Bigscreen, rises from the dead with a better UI
Ho recentemente sostituito l'interfaccia standard della mia TV Android con Projectivy Launcher, un launcher alternativo che offre:
• Assenza di pubblicità e contenuti suggeriti
• Interfaccia personalizzabile
• Miglioramenti nelle prestazioni
• Riduzione dei dati condivisi
Ho documentato il processo di installazione e configurazione sul mio blog:

Bevor ich jetzt gleich pennen gehe, muss ich noch die freie #Android-App #WGTunnel highlighten: Damit lässt sich schön steuern, wie und wann ich mich zum meinem Heimnetz per #Wireguard verbinden will. 
Läuft sogar auf #AndroidTV.

Ist auch via #FDroid verfügbar: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.zaneschepke.wireguardautotunnel/
Two new releases of @jellyfin for #AndroidTV are currently publishing to the app stores!
I've added support for the upcoming #Jellyfin 10.11 server release to keep playback working (it doesn't in some cases with the current app release).
Read all about it in the changelog of the GitHub releases:

Is anyone experienced in #androidtv on #raspberrypi? I want to get rid of my fire TV stick, but i can't get used to kodi.
Seems to be not to complicated, if you ever installed a custom ROM.
Edit: It seems to be impossible to stream Netflix and Disneyplus... No App available and no access by browser
I noticed that one of them is on the #IzzyOnDroid repo and the libre version is one incremental version behind.
Also, if you scroll down on the Aves regular version, #FDroid warns you that it's anti features is use of #Google proprietary libraries.
So #Chromecast or #AndroidTV features?

Wofür hast du dich entschieden?
Ich hatte vor Jahren auch mal mit #Kodi / #libreelec und #AndroidTV experimentiert:

So it arrived yesterday, box was a little bashed, inside there is the tiny #AndroidTV box, a short hdmi cable, a power cable with barrel jack (AC to DC 5v) and a remote control
It's smaller then I thought

#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
