Does anyone know how to get jellyfin on a Samsung TV? I keep seeing guides about deploying apps to your TV and I feel like an idiot. #asknostr

I know Reddit is commie territory, but definitely worth lurking for answers to things like this.

How's it commie?

Seems to be very difficult, keep getting shot loads of errors

Not sure if it’s the same as mine but you can put the app on a usb stick and copy it. If not maybe there’s an android app store available on your tv

Do you have a Samsung?

No. But if yours is an Android tv as well, it should be the same logic

I don't think so

There’s no usb port or android app store on it?

No android app store. There is a USB port.

I downloaded the installer from my computer onto a usb stick and intalled it on the tv that way.

I don't think Samsung works that way. What did you do when you plugged it in

There was an app on the tv to read files from the usb key. I opened it and than ran the installer for jellyfin. (The tv has an android app store too so it could have apps installed on it)

I'm failing hard core at this.... Do any of y'all use jellyfin via like a small form PC or Chromecast? Or any options besides a 25ft HDMI to my crappy spare laptop

Jellyfin on a small PC with a hardwire ethernet to a firestick connected to your tv would probably be your best bet.

I have the server running already. I really just need a client

Firestick, or Roku or something. Then you can just bypass the tv software. https://www.amazon.com/Jellyfin-for-Fire-TV/dp/B07TX7Z725?dplnkId=7195e5e9-784c-4277-a9f4-8ae986d458e0
