Samsung Smart TV owners can now use Jellyfin natively, as the open-source media server is now available on the Tizen platform.

      You have to do a lot of work. You would have to keep up on what domains it’s using (which were in the dozens four years ago for samsung), and make sure it doesn’t use some as kill switches if it finds something blocked.

      We aren’t stopping just ads, we are stopping spying, data sharing, snooping, network mapping, etc.

        Yeah. To be honest on the DNS side it would probably be far easier to just do a whitelist instead, block everything except your specific service. and yeah, its a stupid amount of work. i hate smart tvs but i’ll be damned if im gonna pay extra for a streaming box =|

            to get something as flexible as my android tv i’d need an nvidia shield and those are going on ten years old at this point. maybe if/when they do a hardware refresh, assuming sideloading isn’t completely impossible by then.
