    Time for Roku refugees to join us and self-host Jellyfin. They can’t change what you control.

      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.

        Well that stinks, guess I’ll have to consider tossing the Roku in my spare bedroom at some point.
        I’m fairly new to Jellyfin. I just setup my server this week. Not sure what I’ll use to cast it, probably my steamdeck, already has a remote in the form of a steam controller so it works great.

      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.

        Tbh I’ll probably use a steam deck if it works as a client. For server, I def need something better, I’m using a laptop from 2010 era lol.

        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.
