What's the best way for me to stream to a Samsung (Q70T) TV these days? I use a Plex server, and their Plex TV app (which is hit & miss quite often), but at least it has a nice GUI.
If watching directly from laptop I have Kodi, but have also installed Jellyfin for testing recently.
My wife requires me to find the answer to this in order to cancel “convenient streaming”
IK if you put your tv in developer mode you can sideload other apps like jellyfin (better then plex, doesn’t require email signup)
I have yet to find an app to sideload that connects to online free streaming sites or alternatively a pc way to search and download that same contest to the jellyfin drive that is more noob friendly then torrents.
You should look into Overseerr/Jellyseerr, it provides a simple frontend or web app for Sonarr/Radarr. There's also Reiverr that would probably be the most convenient as it allows you to download and watch from a single ui but I don't know if it's still actively developed and it's only available as a webapp
Alternatively, if you want to stream directly you could try CloudStream which work over http or Stremio for streaming torrent tho I wouldn't use it without a debrid account
