Plex will be blocking access from at least one VPS provider

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

switched to Jellyfin, took about 10 minutes to have it up and running. Cya Plex
AFAICT for self hosted only Plex works with smart TVs.
Jellyfin has apps for Firestick, Roku, Android TV etc - they're listed on their website. There are also some third-party ones.
Was curious before about setting it up on a Samsung TV, apparently can sideload an app or something? Didn't look too far into it because Plex 'just worked'. Will have to revisit that.
Google TV.
Your "smart" tv never needs to touch the internet. They're usually going some sort of spying anyways.
You say that as if the Google TV systems don't do that...
And if your smart tv has some kind of browser, that works too
There's definitely more Plex apps but I'd suggest just getting a third party streamer if your TV doesn't have a Jellyfin app (which suggests it's probably quite out of date and probably not the best option).
