Jellyfin for Android TV is a Jellyfin client for Android TV, Nvidia Shield, and Amazon Fire TV devices. We welcome all contributions and pull requests! If you have a larger feature in mind please open an issue so we can discuss the implementation before you start.

Building

The app uses Gradle and requires the Android SDK. We recommend using Android Studio, which includes all required dependencies, for development and building. For manual building without Android Studio make sure a compatible JDK and Android SDK are installed and in your PATH, then use the Gradle wrapper (./gradlew) to build the project with the assembleDebug Gradle task to generate an apk file:

./gradlew assembleDebug

The task will create an APK file in the /app/build/outputs/apk/debug directory. This APK file uses a different app-id from our stable builds and can be manually installed to your device.

Branching

The master branch is the primary development branch and the target for all pull requests. It is unstable and may contain breaking changes or unresolved bugs. For production deployments and forks, always use the latest release-x.y.z branch. Do not base production work or long-lived forks on master.

Release branches are created at the start of a beta cycle and are kept up to date with each published release. Maintainers will cherry-pick selected changes into release branches as needed for backports. These branches are reused for subsequent patch releases.

Translating

Translations can be improved very easily from our Weblate instance. Look through the following graphic to see if your native language could use some work! We cannot accept changes to translation files via pull requests.
