What if you never had to leave your guide?
There's a new media player pitched here pretty much every day, and with AI anyone can spin one up. Me too. But I'm not promoting this, there's no download, and it's a personal tool shaped around my own setup. I'm sharing it because I think it's a genuinely different spin.
I love TiviMate, and I always thought what if I never had to leave it? I love Plex, Emby and Jellyfin too, but their live TV isn't great. So my shows and movies live in the guide as channels. What's on now is the next episode I haven't watched. I can play it, mark it watched, or have Sonarr grab a missing one, all without leaving the grid.
I don't really keep a music library. I use Spotify and Sonos, which doesn't work well on Android TV. I already run Music Assistant, so I thought, why can't it be on the TV too, where I can see it and play it? Now every playlist is a channel and every song is a program. I can scroll to any song, in any playlist, and send it to any room.
The slides walk through it.
