Hi  
Since I couldn’t find any answer (not even a slight trace) about my issue, I put it here:  
When I play music, e.g. via my shield-pro box (but also on other environments) I see grotequely limited info about the currently playing track although I have tons of meta data in the tracks of my music library (see attached photo).  
The display is limited in terms of:

- info length that fits on the screen (due to huuuuuge fonts)
- only a small subset of the meta data is shown - missing are, e.g: year, composer, comment, resolution (depth, frequency)
- album cover far too huge (wastes space for other info)

Is there a possibility to alter this screen, in order to decrease font size, add more meta data tags etc. etc.?

There is no official version of Plexamp for Android TV.

ah, ok, thanks!  
to me, it looked as if the shield-box runs a (slightly limited) normal android … because i can run most apps that i also have on my samsung smartphone. but will check it and inform you.
