I had to use my TVs internal (amazingly slow) web browser to access Jellyfin. Until a couple of months ago, when I was surprised with them announcing that they will release a Jellyfin app for LG WebOS. Works great, the only slightly annoying thing is that they don't seem to cache the posters. Every time I scroll through my library, all the posters load again.
Other than that, the things which don't quite work for me:
- Jellyfin is useless on my Android phone. Media with 5.1 sound is severely broken, I can only hear the background noise, the actual dialog is just barely hearable. Could be a config issue on my end, but I haven't found out what the issue is. Now I just download stuff and watch it in VLC. Works, but it's not the best UX.
- Sometimes when I add a lot of content, the metadata gathering seems to be stuck. I can refresh the libraries, refresh a single item, but nothing seems to work. Then, after a couple of hours, it magically starts to pull all the metadata and is done in a couple of minutes.
Else - I enjoy it very much. Even donated some money, which I do (too) rarely for OSS.
