I’m planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps.

Self-Hosted apps:

  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Nextcloud Memories
  • Funkwhale or Navidrome or Mopidy
  • AudioBookShelf

Non-selfhosted apps I use:

  • Steam Link
  • All Streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
  • YouTube, YT Kids
  • YouTube Music
  • Spotify
  • Audible
  • Codilingus@sh.itjust.works

    I know android TV and Roku have jellyfin apps. But I would stay far away from LGs WebOS, and I haven’t heard of Tizen.

    Id honestly buy w/e tv you think looks the best quality wise, then add a media player. For ease of use Nvidia shields are fantastic and run android TV, and work wonders with steam link.

    What I did was a Sony OLED which has android TV and is fast enough to use streaming apps with little annoyance. And then I bought an odroid n2+ and installed coreELEC to use Kodi to stream media locally without needing to transcode. Then use jellyfin for if I want to stream outside the house.

    Sadly my setup doesn’t have a solid Steam Link option, as the Sony TV isn’t powerful enough and there’s a delay in controller input and what you see on TV.

    ^ Hopefully some good ideas for you ^

      Tizen is Samsung’s wannabe Android. It’s used in their smart devices that don’t run Android (in the US) and they have smartphones that run on it in Asia.
