User builds custom Android TV media player with Claude AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The app was iteratively refined over approximately 100 revisions, with Claude AI first assessing device capabilities before building the application. The resulting app is reportedly twice as fast as Plex or Jellyfin, capable of direct playing most media and transcoding when necessary, and is compatible across multiple Android-based devices. AI
