Boop beep I got delete. .
Yeah, but I’ve been using the Jellyfin app on the Roku for my older “dumb” TVs, so I’m just fracked at this point.
That said, the webOS Jellyfin app is finally available for all webOS TVs, so at least I can go straight to JF on one TV.

Related question: what's everyone using to stream from their Jellyfin server these days?
I have a shield pro, but it's definitely starting to age, and with Nvidia neglecting it for years and finally ending support, I don't think I'll be getting a new one. My TV OS doesn't have an app without side loading, and even if it did, I don't think I'd want to use it.
I posted this elsewhere in the thread, but…AppleTV with the Infuse app.
I tried a bunch of different media boxes and HTPC options over the year. But this is by far the best setup in my experience.
I was kind of afraid that would be the answer. Do you still need a separate Apple device to set it up? I'm not necessarily morally opposed to buying an Apple product, but I am morally opposed to buying two to use one.
No need for other Apple devices. It can act as a standalone box. It may want an AppleID account during setup. I’m unsure about that part.
Interesting. Thanks for the information!

What do you mean neglected for years?
It's time for something new, yes. It's been nearly 10 years since the first release. But I wouldn't say it has been neglected.
