I’m planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps.

Self-Hosted apps:

  • Jellyfin
  • Immich
  • Nextcloud Memories
  • Funkwhale or Navidrome or Mopidy
  • AudioBookShelf

Non-selfhosted apps I use:

  • Steam Link
  • All Streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc.)
  • YouTube, YT Kids
  • YouTube Music
  • Spotify
  • Audible
  • PieMePlenty@lemmy.worldEnglish

    It’s hard to recommend a Google product but Google TV or chromecast with Google TV does the job it’s supposed to do. App support is large and what isn’t there can be installed the same way it can be on an Android phone. I can stream Playstation games to it even though Sony doesn’t support it. Smart TV built in os’s aren’t up to par yet. At least not in the price range I’m buying my tvs.
