People into Jellyfin use smart TVs? I haven’t connected mine to the internet.
Having a smart tv doesn’t mean you must use internet to utilize it. Mine is blocked from internet connectivity but connects to my media server on the local network. If anything, I prefer this so I don’t need an extra computer sitting in the living room and can instead use the same single media server my phones and computers do.
This feels like some really niche gatekeeping.
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?
Not much if there isnt even much HDMI-CEC support.
It pisses me off that the reason most tech get filled with ads and shit is because people want to use it but are not bothered to learn anything about it. Like input selection, they need to press one button and everything has to be setting itself up without interaction or they will complain it’s too hard.
Then the ad company makes shit to make it seem easy but fills it up with spyware and ads. Lazy People adopt the easy way and endure the shit that comes with it while bending for more.
If “pressing one button” was all…That would be great.
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.
We have both.
Kodi use Jellyfin for its media library and Kodi is excellent for a lot of the TV we watch. catch Up TV has replaced the decoder for watching terrestrial TV.
One thing that sucks in Kodi though is Arte (a franco-german channel that is a leans towards “intellectual”). For that, the LG WebOS app is much better than the Kodi add-on. Other than that 1 app, we could happily plug Kodi into digital signage panel if they weren’t stupidly expensive.
It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK
“works OK”
🤘 I’ll take it!
It has had trouble with some subtitles. That’s the biggest issue I’ve had
Family connect to my server with tv. If tv is in the same house everything is blocked and select things are whitelisted.
