Jellyfin client for Android 6

I stumbled upon an old Android Tablet today running Android 6. Even though it is quite old, it has a 1440p screen, decent speakers and the battery still lasts a few hours.

I already tried Jellyfin in the preinstalled Chrome and the official Jellyfin App. The Jellyfin UI worked, but when I went to play an episode it would just show the show background and not respond anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas or know of some obscure client which supports older Android versions? It seems like a waste to get rid of the tablet, when all the main components are still perfect for watching media.

Edit:I had completely forgotten the obvious solution: Kodi!Kodi with the JellyCon addon works great. The only important thing I had to change, was enabling force transcoding of h265 and av1 video in the JellyCon settings.
