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

        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.

          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?

            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.

      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.

        It has music filtering?

        Define “filtering”. You can browse by artist, genre, etc. just like in Plex.

        Good 4k/x265 performance?

        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.

        Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?

        Yes, on the builtin dashboard.

        Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?

        Looks like the feature request for streams is still open, though it does have an option to limit concurrent sessions.

        https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/1444/limit-the-number-of-simultaneous-streams-per-user

        Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?

        Yes, it’s called “syncplay”.

        Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?

        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.

        Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?

        Looks like it. Never used it myself.
