Is the nvidia shield TV still the go-to box for streaming content to your TV?

I don’t really need much, just something that can pick up jellyfin. hulu/HBO/etc. is a bonus

    Is this via social / account stuff within the plex ecosphere ? Ive never used any of that (wittingly) including seperate user accounts in my household. Is it between such accounts you’re referring to, or more insidious than that ? Ive been plexing for some years but always have one eye on jellyfin. If theyre doing anything dodgy with data I will jump. Need to have another look at their policies and settings - its been a while. Good to have a headsup.

      Jellyfin is not a for-profit project so there’s no motivation to push non-sense like that.

      There’s also no motivation for them to dedicate a ton of resources to build a slick or easy to use system, but those are your choices.

        Wow. Thanks for the link. Makes me wonder if the whole thing could be seen as a honeypot opportunity for lawyers of evil corps and others. Also makes me wonder what their business end game is - get acquired by Amazon or another streaming giant ? In which case, yikes again. I was suspicious enough with the mere fact it was a hybrid streaming, live tv, and self host media solution. Conflicts of interest. A Shame. Theres alot of good aspects to using it. Hello Jellyfin.

          Used to be purely for streaming your personal library, but you know how these things go.

          Shame on me for trying to support a company I believed in and buying a lifetime license.

          Jellyfin still has a ton of issues. Can’t easily fixed mismatched episodes (at least I couldn’t find it), crashes on some media well plex doesn’t. Apps crash enough to be noticeable.
