It does.
It doesn't work on Samsung TVs, I tried
Can you browse web on your tv? That would work.
I was curious and tried that on my Samsung TV from 2016, it loads a grey background and does nothing
Maybe, I put it into dev mode to install the app, but it seems that it's not functional in the current version
Oh, I meant browse to the webpage like you would on a computer. Is there not a browser available? I've only got dumb tvs, so sorry I can't be of more help.
You're inputs broken? Who the fuck cares about TV OS support?
Me with my limited budget
I spent 30 dollars on an orange pi zero 2 and installed android TV on it.
Can you afford 30 dollars? The privacy alone is worth the cost. Those samsung TVs are spyware central.
Sorry I can't justify that cost
I dont believe you.
Ok.
So it has a dedicated music app?
It has music filtering?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
Low effort response:
Dunno Dunno I think so Some data, yes Yes Yes but it's jank Yes I believe so
So it doesn’t.
So you lied.
