Samsung Smart TV owners can now use Jellyfin natively, as the open-source media server is now available on the Tizen platform.
I use it through tailscale. I can still use it locally (yay). Still would like to see tailscale on tizen
People into Jellyfin use smart TVs? I haven’t connected mine to the internet.
This feels like some really niche gatekeeping.
Not every Jellyfin user is also the server administrator. If someone sets up a server and shares that server with 5 people, most of those users aren’t concerned with the privacy implications of how they connect to the server; they just want to consume content as easily as they do with Netflix, Disney, etc.
Not every Jellyfin user is also the server administrator.
That’s true but every Jellyfin host has to be.
I do? I don’t love Android TV but I only have so much time to fight to the good fight with shit.
I would like a less smart tv but I don’t want to by a 7 year old Nvidia Shield and suffered paralysis by analysis trying to decide on on an Android TV box.
So here we are, I use jellyfin on a smart TV
And how much better would a TV box even be compared to a smart TV?
Out of curiosity why are you reluctant to buy a Shield?
I was on the fence for a while but I’ve been extremely happy with it and have only run into minimal issues (and significantly less than with my smart tv before).
I have a shield. Without setting up a custom launcher it is an ad ridden nightmare (by default). Even though I spent a comparatively large amount of money for old hardware, I still get bloat.
But I don’t know any better option that is easy to use and has a simple android box like remote so. :/
I just run mine on a nvidia shield. I dunno why people feel the need to give the smart tv your data.
It’s relatively easy to restrict a smart tv to TLS/HTTPS traffic only using your router and a dns adblocker.
Its even easier to never let it on the network.
It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK
“works OK”
🤘 I’ll take it!
I had to practically hack my Samsung TV I order to get jellyfin on it. A little annoyed it took this long but at least its there now.
There’s a funny one-click tool here: https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installer but I guess it’s not necessary anymore
Damn that looks like it would have saved me some time.
Wow this is great news!

Just run a small linux pc and a wireless keyboard+mouse
Really wanted to like Jellyfin but it just can’t replace plex yet for me. Once it’s developed a little more I’ll definitely take another look since plex is shitting the bed.
i reckon ill unblock it from WAN long enough to get a new app
hell yeah
Game changer
Kodi running on an (old) Nvidia Shield Pro, reading from a NAS via dlnr. This works nicely and I don’t get any quality degradation… Except for HDR+ which the shield doesn’t support and I was stupid and bought a Samsung TV, which is bad for numerous reasons, but also this one.
And of course, we are now closing in on the decade since it was released, and still no viable replacement.
Replacement for what? kodi? you’ll pry kodi out of my charred and flayed hands! (American)
EDIT nvm can’t be kodi. forgive me.
but yes i love kodi
edit edit,
any old Chromebook can run LibreELEC!
Sorry, the Nvidia Shield. It’s super old, but still best in class.
Um…. Okay?
Ok, now fix the shitty client on appletv…
yes, unpaid open source devs, do my bidding.
fix it yourself, ExcessShiv
Dude no one is forcing them to work on the project, they can just ditch it if they don’t want to do it anymore. Just because it’s free people are still allowed to voice opinions on the project, sure my comment is tongue in cheek, no one cares…welcome to the internet, is this your first day?
As my parents said:
The tone in your voice makes the music.There is a significant difference between
“I just hope the devs can now focus on improving the AppleTV/iOS viewing experience”
and
Hopefully the devs will now fix the shitty Apple app.
Just because it’s free people are still allowed to voice opinions on the project
Just because Lemmy is free, people are allowed to voice opinions on your comment, and judge you by it. It’s my opinion that you’re an asshole, and your opinion is equally worthless.
I wish I could go to your parents and say something like, “OK, now fix the shitty attitude on @[email protected].”, but you probably got it from them in the first place.
Are you this shitty to people who submit pull requests to your dog-shit bug-ridden open-source software repos? Do you even have anything that’s open-source that tries to solve a problem?

Of course, obviously I am the only infallible person in the universe…scrub

is not an opinion, it’s just being a jerk
You thinking I’m a jerk doesn’t change the fact that the appletv app is a burning pile of dog crap. My opinion is that they should actively work on it, the lacking quality and functionality is just fact.
