Jellyfin AndroidTV Client Thread

Strange. Wasn't asking me for that and I was in and out of content all night, but I never press "stop" and use whatever the return/escape command is.

 

I meant movie/tv show logo when starting the video. What about playback status?

 

Yup, seems to be working for me.

 

When an episode finished just now it seemed jellyfin had been shut down while the episode had been playing. Anyone had this happen with the most recent version? Never had it happen with Andy.

 

No there isn't the custom logo and poster when loading the video unless already matched in HT. Playback sync and resume yes.

 

Is it true that you can't have both versions of JF installed? I tried to install the stock last night but it failed. Didn't have time to uninstall the Andy's version as we were sitting down to watch a movie.

 

nope, package name is the same.

 

Yep. I wasn't able to update/overwrite Andy's version with the official build. I had to completely uninstall Andy's first.

 

When using official, am I supposed to choose video player or zdmc?

 

I chose "external" player, didn't see those other options. Seemed to work fine. This is pretty great news for Zidoo owners imo. Glad to have
JF working.

 

Can you check your settings please?

I am prompted to select a player, I can either select ZDMC (doesn't play anything) or Video Player, says error cannot play.

This is on a Z9X Pro.

 

This might be the problem.
Maybe there's something about the new box's firmware that's causing incompatibility?
I think that most of us here are using Jellyfin with the older model boxes.

 

Seems to be the case! same with plex.

Newer is not always better it seems! ‍♂️

 

I was also being prompted to select a player and got that exact same warning after installing this newest Android TV Jellyfin app on my standard Z9X. In the Jellyfin app settings on the Zidoo I changed the max bandwidth setting from Auto to the highest available, I believe 120. After that, it's worked fine for me.

May be related to the pro model as I see you guys discussing, but thought I'd mention it.

 

I'm glad I reread this tread ...

Just installed Official AndroidTV Client

All my media plays without any issues !
Even got live-tv working for the first time playing natively in zidoo player, using my HDHomeRun box and tvheadend

So now it streams instead of SMB/Direct playing, not an problem here

 

Trailers work in the new app!!!

I don't know about anyone else, but they never worked for me in Andy's app which my wife complained about every time we went to pick a movie together.

 

Thank you. I did try that, same error

 

Which version of the official JELLYFIN app on github is the right one for the Zidoo z9x?

 

This one:
https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/releases/tag/v0.15.11

 

@Hippoponderous That is clear. But there are still different assets. I don't know which one is the right one.

Edit: Oh, sorry, now I see that you have included a picture. Now everything is clear. Thank you...
