jellyfin-tizen VS plex-mpv-shim

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

The official repo: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen

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

You could also use something like https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim

My best client experience is nvidia shield, and using plex-shim-mpv. It uses mpv as the client and supports every format I watch, specifically ASS subtitles for anime get direct played.

I found this thread: https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/31 It seems that changing the config to use http (insecured connection) may solve this issue. I have remote access enabled and I'm signed in to the Plex server, so maybe that's why I didn't have those issues.

I just don't worry about it until I try and watch the movie and it has black bars, then I just use plex-mpv-shim to watch it, and handbrake it after.

Have you tried this? I use it all the time when watching stuff on Plex. It direct plays every thing I have minus 4K. Note it doesn’t offer the Plex gui. Instead I used my phone to find what I wanted using the Plex app and then cast it to the player

The plex experience in a browser was never great for me, whether it was transcoding or subtitles. Once I started using plex-mpv-shim, all those problems went away and it's a fast and seamless experience with directplay every time.
