My TV is not even smart. I use 40$ xiaomi tv stick (android 1080p). Its powered from USB port on tv and connects via wifi. Its not the fastest device, but it works just fine
Edit: not sure about price anymore, seems like its more like 50$ now, but still cheap IMO
Then again, with Jellyfin you don’t have to pay for hardware transcoding. That is the one that really bothered me. It seems insane you’d have to pay to properly utilize your own hardware.
I know plex has some features that jellyfin doesnt, but it was time few years ago, at least for me
It’s the app availability, LG TVs don’t have jellyfin which is awkward for me.
There’s an official Jellyfin app in the LG app store.
I may not have checked in awhile but I could have sworn that walhen I got the TV that was a con of it.
Unreal thank you.

Chromecasts and derivatives etc. exist?
I can cast to my nest speakers and TV’s with Chromecast built in.
