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.
Get an Onn streaming device from Walmart for ~$30
I don't live in USA.
Surely they sell something similar in your country
Okay. What streaming devices can you order online?
