I agree with echo. A tv with android OS is far better than webOS or Tizen. I have samsung tvs and LG and loading jellyfin onto them is difficult…involving developer mode and toolkits to self compile and manually update. Atleast android OS has access to the same play store as chrome casts.
Fortunately, if you are looking to spend money on samsung or LG, Sonys run androidOS/google tv in just about all their tvs these days, price is near enough the same and you arent fiddling about just to install an app.

I know. But I need something to fall back to, or meanwhile I have the money to buy all the Chromecasts.
