Ratings and reviews

Pretty good so far! A couple suggestions: please put (or give the option) to show media details when on a movie or show page (HDR, Resolution, bitrate, etc). Also love the performance overlay but I would much rather it be present with the media controls and disappear with them(similar to the android TV Plex apps overlay). Overall promising though!

Possibly the most polished and feature rich player I've used for Jellyfin. I would like the behavior for the remote to be more consistent, the dpad works well but the media controls are inconsistent and the subtitle/audio are toggles that don't show options. Exoplayer is also a bit inconsistent with 2x speed require a rebuffer when you turn it on and off. And fails over to mpv sometimes.

Awesome app, fixed a bug i reported on GitHub straight away with the back button not doing anything while playing media. Just 1 more issue I've come across with music, the option for "Instant Mix" does not do anything, hopefully this gets fixed in the future updates 🥰
