I use Kodi standalone and the Kore mobile app. The Jellyfin addon can be navigated directly in Kore so I don't even need to use a remote control; I select what I want to watch directly on my touch screen. I think an ideal TV interface must prioritize a more native integration between the apps and the phone (or any web app really), similar to how Chromecast works.
