+1 to this, it can be compiled and distributed as a build asset |

Nobody is working one as far as I know. If the TV supports apps, then it has browser functionality, which is all you need to open Stash on any device. A dedicated app would only really improve the navigation, but might even limit the range of supported codecs. So it's not even a clear improvement overall. And that adds extra overhead for each new release, as it's an additional platform that needs to be ported for. |

Any app can add Stash access, it's a graphql API... |

Who says that they have to market it as a porn app? |

Well that is kinda what it is... but either way, that isn't really the reason why no app has been developed. As @DogmaDragon mentioned, it's an additional platform to support and maintain, and we don't have infinite resources here. For an Android TV app to make sense, it would need to be geared towards use on a TV. In other words, a lot of the UI would have to be rebuilt from scratch, which is not an easy task. But following on from @scruffynerf's comment, the Stash UI is just a frontend for the GraphQL API exposed by the server. There is nothing preventing anyone from writing their own Stash UI - whether that be an alternative web-based UI, or an iOS app, or an Android TV app. It would be really great if someone made an Android TV app, but such an app is unlikely to be officially developed as part of Stash anytime soon. |

In the meantime, Kodi is widely supported on Android and other platforms, and with https://github.com/scruffynerf/StashNfoExporterKodi you can easily make a library of your Stash content, and either use Stash to serve them, or have Kodi access the files directly, either works well. |

Hey all! I've actually started to create a basic Android TV app for Stash! Check it out: https://github.com/damontecres/StashAppAndroidTV It is open-source under AGPLv3 like Stash itself. It is not published on any App store, so it must be side loaded (see instructions in the link above). The app is pretty basic and a lot of features of Stash are not supported, but it works okay! I've tested with my Nvidia Shield TV (and I assume it will work on other devices too). Also, it's my first Android TV app, so the code is a bit messy and the UI/UX is not great, but I'm working on improvements! Feedback and contributions are welcome! |

This is unbelievable. The app functions perfectly from my testing and is cleanly laid out and quite impressive. Will see what I can contribute to it. |

Yeah yeah I know, Google will never allow it on Google Play, but that should not stop it from being emmensely popular - just look at https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext.
