I registered for this feature. My main listen room at my saloon. Therefore my family all media things run on android tv. If this feature will come i am ready to pay because there is no any jellyfin supported proper android tv app in the market. Please consider the android tv feature.

Already using this app on My TV for a while, using the remote is a little fidgety but has replaced BubbleUpnP nonetheless. A native TV app would be nice though…

I think native Android TV is a must considering there’s many people who stream music from their remote media servers.
I would gladly pay for app if this existed.

All the subsonic compatible android apps I’ve managed to install (copying APKs manually to my android TV and installing that way) either crash on launch, aren’t compatible with the latest auth API, or crash when trying to play music. It’s insanely frustrating…

The only way I’ve found to play music from my navidrome server on my android tv is to install Kodi, install some random github project that adds the subsonic addon, but it’s extremely clunky and quirky.

I am using Symfonium 11.0 on my Android TV right now, works quite well all in all, had to Side Install though…

Hi there,

Download the apk from

https://apkcombo.com/symfonium-music-player-cast/app.symfonik.music.player/download/apk

just copy this apk to a USB-Stick or similar, connect it to your TV, open it with a file Explorer( I recommend CX Explorer) and continue from there.

Keep in mind that you need to be logged on with the same Google account that you bought this app with.

Kind regards

Chris

How do we activate the license on firestick or how do. I buy it again on firestick after sideloading as it says 14 day trial.

You can use the degoogled license : How can I pay for symfonium without google play? - #2 by Tolriq

But keep in mind that it’s an unsupported platform so there’s no guarantee that every updates in the future will always fully works.

Using 11.2 on my TV atm

Just sideloaded 11.3.0 on my Mi Stick 4K, and for the most part it works well, connected to Navidrome. Couple of issues navigating, so I had to plug in a mouse. Sooo close to being great for android tv.

Open a proper issue with the navigation issues, while I can probably tweak things for sideloading, officially publishing for Android TV means to pass the stupid Google review and the millions rules for Android TV. They reject for any single item that can’t be reached by a pad so that’s an insane amount of rework for TV just to please those …

Updated to 11.3 on my TV a few days ago. Navigating with the TV remote is a bit quirky, but I rather accept it than going back to using BubbleUpnp. Even with those minor inconveniences I absolutely prefer Symfonium over BubbleUPnP.
