Work has been progressing furiously to provide a living room client to Android users. We're aiming for a January release of an update to the current client that will be geared towards 10' use. I'd originally hoped it would be under peoples trees for Christmas. The players The whole UI has been built with the intent to make physical remote navigation much easier. The new player UI has full support for playlist navigation, chapter/audio/subtitle selection. Here's a teaser! http://youtu.be/eqBwt4Z_aNs fun fact: The videos were recorded on my Nexus 7 using the web client on my PC to navigate the Android client remotely. What about the Rest! Because of plans to also provide a native Android TV client. I've chosen to develop something that feels familiar to the community. The UI is very MBC inspired. Here's a few screenshots... homescreen library - list view library - grid view media details - overview media details - similar

wow! well done red!

It will work on the FIre TV. I'm using this UI on my Fire TV as my primary HTPC. As for the audio, I wouldn't want just stereo audio on an HTPC either. We're doing everything we can to improve playback including trying to find ways to easily provide multi-channel audio to users. The holy grail would be Dolby Digital on devices that support it.

Yes the backdrops rotate in the various views whenever the item has more than one. The overviews on the list & coverflow views also scrolls automatically if there's more text than can be displayed. The Living Room UI should work on any Android 4.0+ device. Same as the mobile UI. Were actively testing as development progresses and aim to support as many devices as possible. This client won't be available for Android TV devices (Nexus Player for example), but there is an MB Android TV client being developed. So hopefully all bases will be covered.

Awesome, I have been waiting for something that is specifically design for android living room client. Does it have a backdrop rotations for movies and TV shows menu? To run efficiently what is the minimum system requirements? Do you have a beta version for one to play around with? Cheers and great job

Looks fantastic, unfortunately, I don't have a 10" android device at the moment. But, if/when I do, this will be first on my install list! Well done!

Can't wait for this if it does work on the Fire TV Stick. I can't help but wonder if this does work on the Fire TV will it support the voice remote?

Looks awesome red! Couple of questions. 1. Will this work on the fire tv and nexus players? 2. Will it output 5.1 and 7.1? I hate plex only doing stereo on the fire tv 3. Who do we make the check out to
