dim VS jellyfin-tizen

https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim might be your solution. Listed on awesome self hosted.

Dim is simple media server You can look at. Dim

Someone recently told me about this one, too. https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim

Anyway, there is a growing number of potential competitors such as dim and Olaris Media Server but as of right now there isn't an alternative that I would consider to be equal to plex, however I think we're getting close, it might be another year maybe two before we see any real competition, it mostly depends on how fast the alternatives can be developed.

I've been amassing a library which I've exposed to some family members via Tailscale

Dim (https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim) is also a decent shout.

From Jellyfin to Olaris and even DIM, there is a rise in media server options, one day soon Plex will have a serious competitor and I can see a lot of people, myself included, moving to one of these competitors.

I cannot help you with this, but this is what I found.

Following this github link.

This is the github repository link I'm following: (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen/blob/a8629f095dc8ef25878796f549defbb306978246/README.md)

If you're actually going to use the extra features of Plex/Jellyfin over a pure media player like Kodi, generally you would install the sever on a headless box, then install the client on your TV or connected media player. Plex is usually a single click app install on most Samsung TVs. Jellyfin might take a bit more work.

there is a Tizen client (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen) but it isn't on the app store so you need to install it with dev mode which isn't easy for the average Joe

The app version is just whatever git HEAD was when I built it, d23ca24. The server version is 10.8.9-1 on a RPi 2 installed via apt.

It's unfortunate but you can compile and deploy an app for Samsung: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen
