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.
We just recently switched to Stremio/Torentio/Real Debrid. This was what made it convenient enough for my wife to really be onboard with canceling our subscriptions. Stremio plays on a super cheap Onn TV box from Walmart and that works for us. There are probably better hardware options though. I was going with the cheapest option I could find just to test the waters.
