MassDroid TV Watch TV app for Android description
MassDroid TV is the Android TV edition of MassDroid, a native client for Music Assistant (music-assistant.io), the open-source music server that unifies your streaming services, local files and players into one library. It is built for the remote: every screen works with the D-pad, and a mouse works too.
You need your own Music Assistant server to use this app.
The sign-in screen finds the Music Assistant servers on your network by itself, through mDNS. This search stays on your local network.
This edition is made for Android TV and Google TV and launches only from the TV home screen, so on a phone it installs without an app icon. On phones and tablets, use the MassDroid app instead.
Features:
- Discover home: recently played, top picks, Smart Mix and Genre Radio, built from your own listening history.
- Browse your library: artists, albums, tracks, playlists, radios and audiobooks.
- Control any Music Assistant player from a mini player that is always at hand, with a full-screen now playing view.
- The TV as a speaker (Sendspin): the TV becomes a Music Assistant player, on its own or in time with your other speakers, with an output delay you can adjust.
- Rename the TVs player from Settings.
- Shows what is playing to the Android TV system controls.
Genres come from your Music Assistant library and from MusicBrainz, with no account or API key to set up; the recommendation data stays on the device. The few words about the playing album or artist come from Wikipedia, by way of MusicBrainz and Wikidata, when Music Assistant has none.
This app is an unofficial, third-party client and is not affiliated with the Music Assistant project.
