- Jellyfin users watching on Android TV
- Worth noticing
- The page says it keeps a library mirror on the TV, so browsing and search avoid server round trips.
Field notes
The described local library mirror is intended to keep scrolling, filtering, and search from making a round trip to the server; the page says library changes sync automatically. For playback, it says Jellybeam checks what the TV can decode to avoid transcoding where possible, and specifically mentions HDR handling. These are homepage claims rather than independently verified test results.
