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!

While it works better than the official plex app, I can't say the same about jellyfin servers. The live channels just don't start. They however work perfectly on jellyfin only clients. If that gets resolved I would be very happy. Other than that, the home screen needs to be more customisable. Edit: The new update has resolved the live tv issue. That was fast! Glad I got to do my bit in support.

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.
