      Jellyfin didn’t have an app for my then 3-year old LG WebOS TV so, unfortunately, I couldn’t use it.

      I know people are going to say I should just use a smart box connected to my TV instead of my TV’s smart features, but there’s a difference in usability that they’re not acknowledging.

        My LG WebOS TV has it, and it’s pretty old (8 years?). It works fine most of the time, but the TV has a habit of disconnecting from the WiFi, and if I launch Jellyfin when the WiFi is borked, Jellyfin forgets my server config, and I have to enter it again. It also doesn’t work with my HTTPS URL, so I have to connect it to the HTTP one.

        I set up Jellyfin this year, so maybe the app just didn’t exist yet. I’d imagine newer WebOS TVs wouldn’t have at least the HTTPS issue, and may behave better WRT WiFi.
