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

Straight up don’t fucking do it, smart tvs are all trash that’s spies on you. Get an equally sized industrial monitor for about the same price and throw a Roku on it

If you are determined go Samsung, Tizen sucks but WebOs is the worst OS I’ve ever experienced

Presumably Roku spies on you too? Better to installato one of those linux based OSes that you can even install on a Pi

For sure, but if someone is considering a smartTV I’m presuming they are looking for simplicity. And while Roku does probably spy at least their shit works, I want to break my LG WebOS tv on a daily basis, I’ll never buy another smartTV

Edit: also unless something has changed you can’t flash anything onto Samsung or LG tvs if that’s what you meant. If I’m wrong tell me and I’ll have a project to complete today

I believe [email protected] meant a mini-pc to flash a type of AndroidTV like Linux OS on it.
Like a Raspi 0 with IR remote and a tv OS.
