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

    Smart TVs are god awful, and I hate the OS on our LG TV. That said there is finally a Jellyfin app on WebOS so it has that going for it now… I’m too cheap to buy a separate box for Jellyfin and stuff for the TV, so I guess it’s good enough… but in general I wish the TV OS got out of the way a little more.

    All the TVs built in stuff is not going to be the best experience. Doubly for self-hosted. A tv with android os, or a dongle inserted into a tv will do much much much better than samsung or lgs apps. An appletv too but then you’re spending a lot more

      I know. But I need something to fall back to, or meanwhile I have the money to buy all the Chromecasts.
