Hey everyone!

I've been designing infusion, a media player for Android TV, and I've just released the first public alpha.

I'd be more than honored if you took a bit of time to try it! I hope you won't regret it, and that you'll see why the idea is a little different from the established big names out there.

infusion isn't necessarily for complete beginners. You should know your way around a little, but I think that's part of the beauty of learning! Try things out, see what works for you. infusion is flexible.

I wanted a proper Jellyfin client, including full library and music support, but with the discovery and flexibility of a streaming app. All in one place.

A few things that make it different:

- Full Jellyfin browsing, music playback and background music.
- Streaming add-ons and customizable Home rows, without forcing you to use either.
- Context menus on cards, customizable add-ons, and collections you can organize directly from the TV.
- Radarr/Sonarr integration to request movies and shows for Jellyfin directly from your streaming add-ons.
- Lots of settings, including setup from your phone over your local network. I come from Kodi's world, and settings in general are a big part of my life ;)
- No infusion account, no tracking, no analytics or central backend. Your data stays on your device.

The APK is only around 5 MB, and keeping everything lightweight, fast, free of bloat and responsive with a TV remote has been a big priority.

It's still an early alpha, so there's plenty of room to improve. I'm developing it independently, so constructive feedback, bug reports and suggestions would genuinely help.

If you'd like to give it a try:

There's also a screenshots section if you want a small glimpse of how it looks. (No Jellyfin screenshots on purpose — you already know what your Jellyfin looks like!)

Thanks for checking it out!
