For me, Jellyfin makes my smart TV (running webOS) tolerable. It turns the TV into the appliance it should have been from the start, without ads, AI assistants, or silly apps.

Yes, it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy a non-smart TV. I don't like living in a world where my TV can crash or be down for a software update (which have both happened to me). They're also ticking time-bombs - who knows when support will be dropped and the apps will slowly break as they gradually fall out of compatibility with the external APIs they depend on. What horrors lurk in the depths of those lovele…

Why not just never connect it to the internet and never update the firmware?

I do wish I could just buy a dumb tv that just did TV things… but it’s simple to just use an Apple TV and never connect it. Or if I absolutely must to set it up or because there is a bug. Connect it via Ethernet briefly.

Better for privacy too.

I really wish we had a better tvOS (Apple TV) app for Jellyfin. I use swiftfin primarily and it works well enough but has some rough edges.

After switched from plex after their downtime caused my local server to not work (and just the direction of plex seems to be moving away from its original intention).

I have tried (and continue to pay for in hopes it gets better) infuse. And it works great when it properly has my library, but it constantly has issues of loosing my library and just forever “refreshing” or just never showing my library.

I wonder why anyone would use Jellyfin4Kodi, because Kodi does a good job by itself?

because you want to access your library from multiple locations and have everything kept in sync. ex: started watching a show on tv at home, left to take public transportation to work, continue watching on way to work on phone, continue watchin on phone on way home, continue watching on tv when get home.

This. I had a working kodi install, but I migrated to Jellyfin+kodi and it's miles better.

I had constant syncing problems between Infuse and Jellyfin previously. The first sync after clearing the cache would succeed, but all subsequent updates would fail with a nondescript error on the server. I managed to fix it by scanning for errors in media files by writing a script to walk the library and output ffmpeg copy errors, and either repairing or ditching the broken files. I guess it was just choking on one of them.

I found that 4k HDR/DV DTS Atmos media on my shield tv tube would have issues with freezing after seeking and audio drop outs with kodi/kodi with jellyfin plugin. Switching to jellyfin solved the issue.
