Final Summary | Aspect | Verdict | |--------|---------| | Works? | Yes, but poorly. | | Official support? | No. | | Recommend for average user? | ❌ No. Too frustrating. | | Recommend for tinkerer with mouse? | ✅ Yes. Audio quality is excellent. |

Before starting, it is important to note a major limitation: The app you see on the Play Store is built for phones/tablets.

Install via Downloader, buy an air mouse, change font scale to 200%, and set output to AudioTrack. Expect a phone-like app on your TV screen.

| App | Best for | Free? | |-----|----------|-------| | | Playing local USB/network files with a remote-friendly UI | Yes | | Kodi | Serious audiophiles with large libraries (supports WASAPI, high-res) | Yes | | Plex | Streaming your own music library from a PC/NAS | Freemium | | Hi-Fi Cast (side-loaded) | Almost as good as Poweramp, better TV navigation | Paid |
