It's no secret to regular readers of this newsletter that I'm still an ~~avid~~ Plex user. Despite the numerous privacy concerns, price increases, and recent (confusing) primary domain redirect from plex.tv to watch.plex.tv, I still find the transition to Jellyfin a hard sell given its fragmentation and smattering of third-party clients that are all good* but not really great (oh, and hello to the Lemmy readers who always roast me for this take)*.

Alright, I’ll spare you then. <3

This is a seriously cool plugin though, and I legitimately loved Plexamp. Plex’s decent really sucks for this community.

They just kept relentlessly getting worse for years. I'm sure it was all roses for lifetime members but fuck that noise. I'm done working with software like it's a mob boss.

I dunno what everyone else does, but I spend minimal time navigating around my jellyfin client and a lot more time watching stuff.

kodi

kodi is the answer to all

with home assistant or from jellyfin app, i don't have even to see Kodi's gui. just pull up the movie from the Library on my phone and sling it

Kodi has not aged well, sorry.

Wow, Jellyfin on the Tizen store is huge.

I've been running it on my Samsung - getting it installed ("side loaded", uggh, hate that term) isn't for the faint-hearted. Hell, I had to document it with photos of the TV to ensure I could do it again.

Not that I like installing apps from Samsung's app store, I really don't want to use any of the smart features on the TV, it was just the easiest path forward at the moment.

As someone who tried to develop for Tizen it's a feat. The environment, the docs, everything was abysmal.

I don't think the problem with Jellyfin is Tizen's framework, the client looks like a fair webapp, with nothing much changing from what the browser client is. Jellyfin needs some serious UX input, and could learn some stuff from the other video apps.
