Yeah a cheap Roku box or stick will run a jellyfin or emby client. I run these.
Though I know some people are complaining about Roku lately, their connection requirements etc. I wished there was a Roku equivalent that was open source. Like an open source clone of the Roku OS you could flash on to Roku hardware. Or jailbreak it or something.
It’s probably a Samsung Tizen model TV. Samsung has a few different TV OSes, and apparently the official app for the Tizen model has been caught up in Samsung’s internal approvals process for literal years now.
The Jellyfin official app for Tizen TVs has been available through the Samsung store for several months now.
I was considering a Plex sub to make things easier to share my collection with family and friends who aren’t tech savvy enough to sideload stuff and the second that the Tizen app was approved, I closed the Plex chapter of my life forever.
The only reason I’m still using plex is the smart TV I have doesn’t support Jellyfin.
Time to set up a Linux stream box that does support it (and whatever else I want).
Roku has a jellyfin app. In case you didn’t want to setup up your own Linux stream box

Roku added like 4 new ads on the homepage recently in canada
There is the HDMI pi cm4 carrier board and projects like OSMC (Open Source Media Center)
If there were, I’d soooo develop for it.
Not sure what tv that is but some have clients that can be side loaded.
