I currently have two TVs, one I use an appleTV with and the other with a googleTV HD (device formerly known as Chromecast), but they both have issues.

The jellyfin app on appleTV is messed up, it fucks up audio and subs all the time, and in general has a hard time with media that has multiple audio tracks, not using the audio I select with the remote.

The googleTV just stutters with almost everything, direct stream or transcoded doesn't matter. All of my library is just 1080p, I have proper wifi to it, all mobile devices stream just fine.

So neither of these provide me with a solution that really works.

What solutions can you recommend, that allows for seamless navigation of jellyfin with my remote? I don't want anything resembling a mouse/keyboard combo for navigation whatsoever.

Nah, I think that's an issue with the jellyfin server. It happens to me too, using Swiftfin on AppleTV.

It's just weird that audio tracks works correctly on all other devices, this is only happening on the appleTV.

...I meant the keep watching thing. I get that a lot if I skip to the next episode right at the outro of a show.

Aah, this is an issue consistently on both movies and shows, also when starting. If i select anything other than the default track, it doesn't actually select what I pick but something else (like it picks Finnish even though I select Danish, and it shows I select Danish). Again, this only happens on the AppleTV, all.other devices switch correctly.
