The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

It does.
It doesn’t work on Samsung TVs, I tried
Does it not support receiving Chromecast streams? I bought a Chromecast device years ago that I’ve used on multiple TVs so that I didn’t have to rely on shitty TV manufacturers.
Can you browse web on your tv? That would work.
I was curious and tried that on my Samsung TV from 2016, it loads a grey background and does nothing
Maybe, I put it into dev mode to install the app, but it seems that it’s not functional in the current version
Oh, I meant browse to the webpage like you would on a computer. Is there not a browser available? I’ve only got dumb tvs, so sorry I can’t be of more help.
You’re inputs broken? Who the fuck cares about TV OS support?
Me with my limited budget
I spent 30 dollars on an orange pi zero 2 and installed android TV on it.
Can you afford 30 dollars? The privacy alone is worth the cost. Those samsung TVs are spyware central.
Sorry I can’t justify that cost
I dont believe you.
Ok.
So it has a dedicated music app?
It has music filtering?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
Finamp, but I’m pretty sure you can get a stream URL to use in any client too.
Define “filtering”. You can browse by artist, genre, etc. just like in Plex.
Haven’t tried 4k myself, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I think x265 depends on the playing client, not the server.
Yes, on the builtin dashboard.
Looks like the feature request for streams is still open, though it does have an option to limit concurrent sessions.

Yes, it’s called “syncplay”.
I know it has an Android app in the Play store. I haven’t looked on other platforms because that’s all I’ve needed.
Looks like it. Never used it myself.
Low effort response:
Dunno Dunno I think so Some data, yes Yes Yes but it’s jank Yes I believe so
So it doesn’t.
So you lied.
