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
  • @Telodzrum@lemmy.world

    The chips in these TVs are garbage and will only get worse (relative to current tech) as they age. Get a set top playback device and use exclusively that. Shield Pro is still solid, AppleTV hardware is solid too. Below those are Roku and Fire devices, they will do nearly as well.
