Samsung Smart TV owners can now use Jellyfin natively, as the open-source media server is now available on the Tizen platform.

People into Jellyfin use smart TVs? I haven’t connected mine to the internet.
I just run mine on a nvidia shield. I dunno why people feel the need to give the smart tv your data.
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.
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. :/
It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK
“works OK”
🤘 I’ll take it!
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.
