Tizen vs WebOS for self-hosted media apps?
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 ^
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.
