Jellyfin is a good alternative

• DANmode 3y ago
  Does it perchance have a plugin for replacing Plex's "search various streaming services at once" feature?
  • bberenberg 3y ago
    Not sure, I don't have this use case.
  • crobibero 3y ago
    I haven’t seen a plugin with that functionality so I doubt it exists.

  Does Jellyfin have user friendly clients for iOS, Android, Roku, AppleTV and various SmartTVs?

    iOS Yes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jellyfin-mobile/id1480192618 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jellyfin-mobile/id1480192618 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swiftfin/id1604098728 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swiftfin/id1604098728 Android Yes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jellyfin.mobile&hl=en&gl=US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jellyfin.m...

There's one for Samsung but it isn't officially packaged yet - works quite well from what I've seen tho.

      LG has a good one

    Every time I've asked them about an app for Samsung or LG tvs - the two most popular brands they've pushed back "we're volunteers, we don't use those TVs, it's not on our to-do list but feel free to code it yourself". They aren't open to being paid to develop it either.

      Interesting, I have a Samsung TV but I'v never even considered running Jellyfin as a native app. I keep the TV off the internet so it can't be a spy box. The Chromecast with Google TV is so affordable and so great, I just use that everywhere. To be clear I'm not telling you you're wrong for wanting to do it on the TV, that's a personal preference, I'm just sharing how I do it in case it helps.

        I ultimately ended up getting an nvidia shield, but at that point it solved my biggest gripe with plex so I just switched back to plex and have been happy with it.

        Are you not concerned about the Chromecast being a spybox?
      • scarface_74 3y ago
        But you’re not concerned about ChromeCast - sold by an adTech company - being spyware?

      A Roku is what? $50? Cheaper than a new tv and probably a better experience than lgos or tizen…
