I’m one of the Core Team members of Jellyfin, if anyone had any questions. https://github.com/anthonylavado

From what I'm reading in comments, clients are the biggest UX gap. I'm planning on finally setting up a solution for my family and was initially leaning towards Plex for simplicity client-side.

If you were to convince me to try Jellyfin, what would your recommended setup for an LG WebOS TV? Ideally one that allows me to continue using the TV remote.

I tried Jellyfin but reluctantly had to switch to Emby so my family had the WebOS app for the TV.

I'd like to add a vote for Firefox OS for my Panasonic TV.

Most "boxes" that you get would let you use your TV remote through CEC. If you really wanted to add something on, then I would probably recommend anything from a Fire Stick 4K to an nVidia Shield.

That said, we have WebOS work in progress.

Samsung's tv app for plex is the reason why I've stuck with plex and become a lifetime pass holder. Is there something available for jellyfin?

Is this a Samsung Tizen TV? No one has come forward to help with one yet... We do have things in the works for most other platforms, and the browser is always a possibility.

Yes its a Tizen

I have tried the Android TV Jellyfin app on my MiBox S and it was unwatchable because of the stutter. Is there any work beeing done on that?

Was it transcoding or direct playing the file?

This will actually be fixed in one of the next updates (once https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/pull/244 is merged)
