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

I know android TV and Roku have jellyfin apps. But I would stay far away from LGs WebOS, and I haven't heard of Tizen.

Id honestly buy w/e tv you think looks the best quality wise, then add a media player. For ease of use Nvidia shields are fantastic and run android TV, and work wonders with steam link.

What I did was a Sony OLED which has android TV and is fast enough to use streaming apps with little annoyance. And then I bought an odroid n2+ and installed coreELEC to use Kodi to stream media locally without needing to transcode. Then use jellyfin for if I want to stream outside the house.

Sadly my setup doesn't have a solid Steam Link option, as the Sony TV isn't powerful enough and there's a delay in controller input and what you see on TV.

^ Hopefully some good ideas for you ^

A cheap 4k Android TV stick is much better or a $100 Intel n100 PC.

Tizen is Samsung's wannabe Android. It's used in their smart devices that don't run Android (in the US) and they have smartphones that run on it in Asia.
