I head the Jellyfin apps aren't great. However I admit to never testing them.

The Android TV one is really good IMO

[–] Roopappy@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

No issues here. I'm using it right now.

I don't have Android TV :(

$20 at Walmart! I'm kicking myself for casting from my phone for so many years. Android TV is objectively better and you can still cast to it

Oh no I have an old laptop literally strapped to the back on my TV. It's running the Jellyfin server (among many other things) and I installed Kodi on it along with a PC connected remote to control it.

It works well so I haven't looked any further.

The jellyfin apps have a way better UX than Kodi. Jellyfin gives you only what you need in a clean, familiar design that feels like a real streaming service. Kodi is massively overbloated garbage with a confusing and extremely cluttered UI. Typical programmer-designed interface.

I hate Kodi and avoid it always, which thankfully is very easy thanks to jellyfin

Just need to use a nice skin like Arctic Horizon

I'm running it on a Linux laptop, so I don't see any reason why I couldn't have both. I'll check it out.

I have Kodi connected to broadcast TV streams and Disney+, can I do this with Jellyfin?

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could have both, I just found Kodi to be a pain to use and set up. But one advantage of Kodi is that I believe it already supports streams like that. With Jellyfin you might have to do some magic. Kodi is more feature rich than jellyfin in general so if you can get it to work well, you could just have Kodi instead of both.

But I'm not sure on this topic. It's probably best to consult the docs for both.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

I have Kodi set up, and it seems to work well. There are different ways to do it, I did the database merge option which prevents you having non-jellyfin files in your library but it works nicely.

I also have broadcast TV streams and Disney+ through there too, which gives it a smart-TV feeling which is nice for others using it.

No, the jellyfin app is mainly for using a jellyfin server. And for that purpose, it's really good I think. It's not like an all purpose media player with tons of add-ons and highly customizable like Kodi is.

They are alright, but playback is much more stable on Kodi for me. Luckily you can use Jellyfin as a server and use Kodi to play from it.

I just run Jellyfin in a bookmarked browser shortcut on WebOS. Never had any issues.
