One of my favorite Jellyfin clients for Android TV just got even better with its latest update
Wholphin is a straightforward and customizable client, and it's improved for Android TV.
Jellyfin continues to enhance its media streaming experience for Android TV users with the latest update to the Wholphin client. This Plex-inspired, user-friendly app for self-hosted media offers a straightforward, yet powerful way to display your media library on the big screen. Wholphin's recent update brings a wealth of improvements under the hood, including enhanced picture quality, audio and subtitle support, and Live TV functionality.
One notable enhancement is the automatic HDR detection feature, which can be adjusted under advanced settings. Users can override automatic HDR or Dolby Vision detection for specific content in their media library. Additionally, the client's in-player bitrate tool allows users to adjust the max bitrate without leaving the viewing experience, streamlining the process of optimizing playback settings.
Wholphin also includes an optional server plugin for admins, enabling preconfiguration of the home page and setting up Serr integration. Although not a complete app overhaul, these improvements create a more solid foundation for playing media from your Jellyfin server on Android TV devices.
