    Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

    Edit: Yes, Samsung Tizen models can try and sideload an app, but that’s not something the vast majority of people are ever going to even think about, let alone figure out how to accomplish.

    Edit 2: Well shiver me timbers, Jellyfin’s on those Onn TV’s. TIL.

      Using roku jellyfin app daily, but I agree the fact that jellyfins app hasnt been approved for tizen yet is a point against it

          Yeah its a cheap ass roku onn I got from a roommate. Worth a look. To my knowledge tizen is the only major platform jellyfin isnt on is tizen, and from what Ive read thats more on samsung than on jellyfin. Its been up to date and submitted for a while now it just hasnt been approved by samsung

            Yeah, I’m not about to defend Samsung or their app distribution by any means, I just know they had the Plex app when I needed it.

            Thanks for the heads up on Roku though, I appreciate it!
