The main drawback of anything other than plex is that you can’t simply install it on some major TV brands.

  Jellyfin doesn't even have a tvOS client.

    It does. Swiftfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin

      a) It's not official, or even recommended at https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients b) I would never use an app that used VLC for playback.

        It’s there. jellyfin.org/downloads/clients/all/ And it’s in their repo. It seems to be status “official beta” and closing in on a new release with a considerable amount of rework done. I’m running a local build deployed to my appletv and it’s working fine.

    >Jellyfin doesn't even have a tvOS client. Huh? I find Infuse to be a very solid tvOS/iOS client, and they added built-in support for Jellyfin over 6 years ago [0]. It's right there at the bottom with other media servers they support (Emby & Plex). What's your issue with it? ---- 0: https://jellyfin.org/posts/client-infuse/ https://jellyfin.org/posts/client-infuse/

      The cost isnt ideal. Especially for a jellyfin user.

  Why on gods green earth would you connect your tv to the internet, let alone install anything on it??

    What a weird comment. I use my TV to watch YouTube, Twitch, my Plex instance, and some local TV channels replays (M6, TF1, Arte…). I connect it to the internet to use the internet, not sure what you’re expecting?

      TV manufactures are known to slurp up all this data while also providing these apps on underpowered systems. Many techie's recommend hooking up an external media box to your TV and not providing internet directly to the tv.

      Smart TV's are famously a massive privacy and data theft trojan horse. Connecting your tv to the internet is quite frankly insane.
