After the Jellyfin 12.0 release earlier today, I've now also released the first beta of #jellyfin for Android TV version 0.20.

The timing was a bit of a coincidence. The releases would've been near each other from the start, but I never intended it to be on the same day 😆.

This first beta is not available on our Google Play beta track. That will happen starting with the next beta release.

We got through Play review again 🎉. The 5fth beta of @jellyfin@mastodon.online for #android is now live for all beta testers. I've already submitted the 6th beta, which hopefully will be approved more quickly. Unless any major issues get reported I'm hopeful to release the app either this or next week. So still close to my previous target. Read more about the 2.7 release on my release plan over at GitHub: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/discussions/2035 #jellyfin

🚨 Beware of unofficial #Jellyfin apps!

Some third parties are repackaging our apps with minor changes, charging $10, and not providing source code. This violates our license, undermines open-source principles and hurts the community.

✅ @jellyfin@mastodon.online is **100% free** and open-source.

Find our official and recommended third-party apps at jellyfin.org

Upgraded my PC at the office to the new #PopOS with the #COSMIC desktop. It did solve some video driver issues I was having, but at the same time it feels like using an alpha product at best. The new desktop surely needs some refinement before I can recommend it to others.

I've just published the roadmap project for the Jellyfin Android TV app! It will slowly get bigger over time while I figure out how exactly I want it to be organized.

The priority for now is to keep working on better video support though!

@jellywatch@mastodon.social are you asking me to share updates about an official Jellyfin client on the website of a third-party Jellyfin client that is violating our branding guidelines? No thanks.

Replying to
@poolitzer@mastodon.social @jellyfin@mastodon.online it's definitely something we've considered in the past. But it's extremely important for us to avoid commercializing Jellyfin in any way. We've seen it with our competition, they slowly start building a company and privatize source code.
