Is Android TV no longer being developed?

[doggypatch 3]

The only information I can find on this topic appears to be a few years old.  Has development on Emby for Android TV stopped?  If so, why is it still available for download?

Stil being developed but they will eventually move to the normal app.

So to install it now, from your response, sounds rather moot.

Depends on if you prefer it over the other. They both get the job done without any problems.

Install both and run the one you like the most for now.  Some minor things work in one and not the other and it's good to compare if a problem arises. 

The transition has been going on for about 6 years now and we all may be dead before the AndroidTV app is completely done with.

So, is emby moving to the AndroidTV app, or to the Android app being used on TV?

Their end goal is to eventually consolidate to the standard Android app on all Android devices which shares an appearance and code with a lot of other apps of theirs.  Which is why that thread you linked to was created to bring some of the features of the old AndroidTV app to the new one before they totally do away with the AndroidTV app.

However, ebr is still maintaining the AndroidTV app and if nothing else at least keep it functional though maybe not spending as much time and adding new functions like he used to.
