JellyWatch for Android TV
JellyWatch for Android TV is the dedicated TV companion app for your Jellyfin media server. Designed from the ground up for the 10-foot experience, it puts your entire media library on the big screen with a fully D-pad-navigable interface.
This app is separate from the JellyWatch Android phone/tablet app. It is optimised for TV remotes and large screens - not touch.
