Nah, fuck Google TV. The current one hasn’t received an update since Android 12 from 3 years ago, it’s slow as balls and lags out playing videos, and is completely filled with ads. It actively tries to prevent you from remapping buttons and home screen if you actually want to use something else besides Youtube and Netflix.
I wish there was more development on Kodi, because the Android TV ecosystem is awful.
I was a bit frustrated that I couldn’t connect to my Jellyfin for a while on my Google TV. It turns out that Android 12 doesn’t support modern HTTPS certificates, and it was failing with a HTTPS connection error. I had to go and downgrade my certificate from the 2020 Let’s Encrypt CA to the 2015 Let’s Encrypt CA, just to get it to work again. It’s super frustrating that the android version on is so old that it doesn’t support fucking HTTPS certificates from 2020.

I just got one of the cheap Chromecast+Google TV things and I’m pleasantly surprised by the Jellyfin app.
UI is definitely sluggish on home screen.
Yeah, the Jellyfin app is nice.
