Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.12): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

This is an example of the kind of issue I'm having. I also recently tried to apply subtitles and it didn't work. It's a real shame as it fails the wife test as Plex works without issue.

There's a problem with playlists right now, it's discussed in the Issues section

Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.7): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

I'm working on the app in my spare time and while I do have some specific items in focus (like the playback rewrite) I always end up working on the things I want to work on. There is a "roadmap"-ish list here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/projects/15 but it's not always up-to-date and in no way a promise that everything will happen.

I assume this is the GitHub repo?

jellycon

JellyCon - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming addon. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date.

This sounds familiar to something reported here. Right now my best guess is the skin is populating before the addon is fully loaded and then doesn't get updates, but I haven't had a chance to confirm that yet.
