I'm planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps.

Self-Hosted apps:

  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Nextcloud Memories
  • Funkwhale or Navidrome or Mopidy
  • AudioBookShelf

Non-selfhosted apps I use:

  • Steam Link
  • All Streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
  • YouTube, YT Kids
  • YouTube Music
  • Spotify
  • Audible
  • amelore@slrpnk.net

    I have an older samsung smart tv, but I'm using a Shield which has Android TV. That does most stuff I wanted (steam link, chromecast, netflix) and yes jellyfin.

    You don't need a tv for the software on it, it's also a screen. So whatever tv you end up buying, you can switch to a set top box like shield if you don't like it.
