I currently have two TVs, one I use an appleTV with and the other with a googleTV HD (device formerly known as Chromecast), but they both have issues.

The jellyfin app on appleTV is messed up, it fucks up audio and subs all the time, and in general has a hard time with media that has multiple audio tracks, not using the audio I select with the remote.

The googleTV just stutters with almost everything, direct stream or transcoded doesn’t matter. All of my library is just 1080p, I have proper wifi to it, all mobile devices stream just fine.

So neither of these provide me with a solution that really works.

What solutions can you recommend, that allows for seamless navigation of jellyfin with my remote? I don’t want anything resembling a mouse/keyboard combo for navigation whatsoever.

    With WebOS app, I’ve noticed sometimes when watching TV shows, if I select one audio track, it will

    • go to the next episode
    • keep the desired audio track selected
    • play the original/nase starting track.

    To remedy it, I have to switch from the current selected audio track and back ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    As far as possible solutions to bad app behavior on your device - get a separate TV device (roku, etc) or some pc or SBC run a jellyfin app on it. You’d want to research first to see if you could use your existing remote somehow (e.g. maybe an IR receiver)

      I think jellyfin offers DLNA support? You could enable it localy and see if your TV(s) can access files that way, without the jellyfin TV app as a middleman

        Then I wouldn’t be able to filter the contents of the server based on age rating, and since it’s serving content for both adults and kids I kind of want to be able to limit some content to certain users.
