I would go with jellyfin, but my stupid old Samsung TV has tizen and can't find a way to install it.

You could plug in a firestick or something similar as jellyfin has an android app.

You need to setup a developer account so you can install apps from local sources

I'm running Openelec on a Raspberry Pi... Awesome interface, high wife approval factor.

I tried that through network and an app on my pc, didn't work.

I had a similar issue where I wanted to use my Xbox Series X to play Jellyfin but there was no client available. I ended up switching from Plex to Emby. I tested it for a month and then bought a lifetime pass, I'm quite happy with it. The client definitely isn't as polished as Plex's clients are but they allow me to do everything I want with much more control. I especially like the plugin system, being able to create my own persistent 24/7 faux tv channels is A++

I use an nVidia Shield for it. There's probably cheaper ones, but you tend to get what you pay for, and I've got a few 4KBR remuxes that even that struggles on.

Is this an okd systen now, how does it hold up? Is it lacking anywhere?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago

It's been pretty decent.

Supports Dolby Vision/Atmos etc. Image based subtitles (e.g. those ripped from a disc) end up getting transcoded, but that seems the only thing it doesn't natively support. Had trouble with AV1 but I'm not sure if that's a general thing or that one specific file.

Get an Onn streaming device from Walmart for ~$30

I don't live in USA.

[–] Idontcare@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago

Can you get a firestick from amazon?

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Okay. What streaming devices can you order online?

[–] vim_deezel@lemmy.org 1 points 8 months ago

Surely they sell something similar in your country
