    If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

    I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

      At some point that TV plex app will stop working, just fyi. And you can get a 4k google tv box for about $25 at walmart, yes I realize that $25 is $25 you didn’t have to spend previously, just pointing out this argument doesn’t really make sense if you actually want to use jellyfin.

      This is one of the most beneficial reasons to even run Plex; it’s ubiquitous. I can access it from nearly everywhere with a simple TV alone, and also provide access to family without having to run tech support for them or requiring any additional investments on their part.
