New tvOS Jellyfin Client: Trovu
I've been working on this Apple TV Jellyfin client for close to a year. I keep waiting to release / announce it as I keep working to improve and add new features. But perfection being the enemy of good, and with the assortment of new apps coming out, it feels like it's time to stop being too nervous to tell anyone.
I see these things go either way from cheers to jeers, so it's made me nervous to put anything here, but I'll try and keep it short and sweet.
Trovu is the name of the app I've been working on. It's currently for tvOS only. I've strived to get my custom playback engine as reliable as possible, but as I find new combinations that need to be addressed I will continue to do so. I've been working on ITV related clients since Tiger/Cub in the 90s, but always as a contributor and not for my own project.
I've strived to support as many features as I felt I needed when I started this project last year. Live TV, Quick Connect, seerr, Trakt, basic music support to name the key ones.
To hit the big one up front, this has become a large time commitment, and I hope to continue that time investment to support and add features. So this does have a paid component.
I've tried to earn that by offering anything below 4K playback for free, a reasonable cost if you choose to upgrade, and lots of features and a 30 day trial, so people can check it out thoroughly with no money out of pocket. I get that this can be divisive, so I'm trying to make it clear up front. If it means it's not for you, I completely understand.
