Android and Android TV apps for PeerTube
-
I didn't know if to include it here or in Software, so if necessary it can be moved.
Sometimes I think about why I don't usually watch videos from Peertube, for example on our instance, and I think the reason is my way of consuming this type of videos. Sometimes I watch YouTube on the PC, but more often I use the mobile or Xiaomi TV Box on the TV. That's why I asked myself, what apps do we have on Android and Android TV where we can comfortably enjoy PeeerTube?

@Yorus Well, on mobile, the best is the browser, you can also watch on NewPipe which you can download from F-Droid. There is an official app but I think it's more for doing live streams from mobile although you also have access to your subscriptions, it's on F-Droid (correct me, they are two different apps PeerTube and PeerTube Live)...
The issue with AndroidTV is more complicated because it's less open than mobile but I have installed NewPipe through an apk but I don't know if there are many more alternatives. Maybe if you download the apk the PeerTube app works but I haven't tested it, Android mobile apps are not always compatible with AndroidTV...

Thanks!, I'm going to try out the possibilities of NewPipe, and we'll see if the TV Box picks it up.
