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

    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.

    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.
