# Wholphin - an OSS Android TV client for Jellyfin
This is an Android TV client for [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/). It aims to provide a Plex inspired UI experience for users migrating from Plex to Jellyfin.

Wholphin is an open-source Android TV client for Jellyfin. It aims to provide a different app UI that's inspired by Plex for users interested in migrating to Jellyfin.
## Motivation
This is not a fork of the [official client](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv). Wholphin's user interface and controls have been written completely from scratch. Wholphin uses the same media player (media3/ExoPlayer) as the official client.
After using Plex and its Android TV app for years, I found the official Jellyfin Android TV client UI/UX to be a barrier to using Jellyfin more, so if you wish the interface and playback controls were a bit more like Plex's Android TV app, then Wholphin might work for you!
That said, Wholphin does not yet implement every feature in Jellyfin. It is a work in progress that will continue to improve over time.
