Wholphin - an OSS Android TV client for Jellyfin

"Never half-phin two jellies. Always wholphin one jelly."

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.

This is not a fork of the official client. Wholphin's user interface and controls have been written completely from scratch. Wholphin supports playing media using either ExoPlayer or MPV.

Roadmap

Installation

Using Google Play or Amazon appstore are the fastest way to install. But you can follow these instructions to install without needing an app store

Downloader Code: 8668671

  1. Enable side-loading "unknown" apps
  2. Install the APK on your Android TV device with one of these options:
    • Install a browser program such as Downloader, use it to get the latest apk with short code 8668671 or URL: http://aftv.news/8668671
    • Download the latest APK release from the releases page or http://aftv.news/8668671
      • Put the APK on an SD Card/USB stick/network share and use a file manager app from the Google Play Store / Amazon AppStore (e.g. FX File Explorer). Android's preinstalled file manager probably will not work!
      • Use Send files to TV from the Google Play Store on your phone & TV
      • (Expert) Use ADB to install the APK from your computer (guide)

Upgrading the app

After the initial install above, the app will automatically check for updates. The updates can be installed in settings.

The first time you attempt an update, the OS should guide you through enabling the required additional permissions for the app to install updates.

Note: if installed via an app store, the app store will handle updates.

Compatibility

Requires Android 6+ (or Fire TV OS 6+) and Jellyfin server 10.10.x or 10.11.x (tested on primarily 10.11).

The app is tested on a variety of Android TV/Fire TV OS devices, but if you encounter issues, please file an issue!

Jellyseerr integration is tested with v2.7.3. Older versions may not work.

Contributions

Issues and pull requests are always welcome! Please check before submitting that your issue or pull request is not a duplicate.

If you plan to contribute, please read the contributing guide!

You can help translate Wholphin!
