NicotinD TV is the Android TV client for a self-hosted NicotinD music server. You run the server on your own machine; this app sits on the TV home row and streams your library to the living room. There is no NicotinD account, no cloud service, and nothing to sign up for — the only server the app talks to is the one whose address you give it. You will need a NicotinD server before this app is useful. It runs in one Docker container on anything from a spare laptop to a NAS. <b>Built for a remote, not a touchscreen</b> This is a separate app from the phone client, not the same screens stretched out. It ships a ten-foot player, D-pad navigation throughout, and predictable Back behaviour, and it registers a channel on the Android TV home screen. <b>What it does</b> * Browses and streams your library — artists, albums, songs, genres, with cover art sized for across-the-room viewing. * Metadata-driven radio that picks what comes next from BPM, musical key, genre and mood similarity rather than from a recommendation service. * Synced lyrics with a karaoke-style vocal-mute option — the reason a lot of people want music on a TV in the first place. * Plays in the background with system media controls, and accepts playback started from another NicotinD device. * Multi-user, with per-user settings on one shared library. <b>Privacy</b> The app talks to your server and nothing else. No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs. Your listening history lives in your own database. <b>Connecting it</b> TVs have no camera, so you connect the way TV apps always have: type your server's address, or enter the pairing code your server displays. This is not a limitation of this build — it is the only path on any TV. <b>About this build</b> This is the same APK the project publishes on its GitHub releases — one build, no F-Droid-only variant, and no proprietary library of any kind. Installed from F-Droid, it updates through F-Droid, and its own in-app update butt
