02 / Our first public product
BronyaTV.
Made for the
big screen.
BronyaTV is the first public product of Bronya Signal Loom: a considered playback experience for Android TV. Navigate with your remote, choose a server-provided media version, and fine-tune how playback uses your device.
BronyaTV / Android TVPlayback, considered
Remote-first navigation
Directional focus, large-screen layouts, adjustable short- and long-press seeking, and playback controls designed for a TV remote.
Buffering under your control
Configure memory buffering, receive buffers, parallel stream connections, and disk read-ahead. Actual buffering adapts to device resources.
Your source, your choice
Select versions supplied by your connected service. Switch versions during playback while preserving progress, and choose audio and subtitle tracks.
A flexible player experience
Adjust playback speed, aspect ratio, and subtitle size. Use the built-in player or supported external player apps installed on your device.
Performance made visible
An optional overlay and diagnostics expose CPU and memory usage, network speed, decoded resolution, frame rate, dropped frames, and cache activity.
Playback-aware caching
Temporary disk read-ahead supports original-file playback and cache reuse when seeking. HLS and DASH use the player's buffer. This is playback cache, not an offline download library.
For Android 6.0 and later on TV devices. Requires access to an Emby service you are authorized to use. Bronya supplies software, not media, subscriptions, accounts, servers, or content sources. Playback depends on your device, network, and service.
