Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client
habitualcynic@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I second the AppleTV recommendation based on your disgust with the Roku UI ads, I am completely on your side there, but my similar search has bought me to AppleTV.
I currently run Amazon Fire Sticks which also have UI ads but my pihole is catching most of them and it’s dirt cheap with h.265 support. Plus it runs various hacked apps like TVMob, Cinema, and Cyberflix. That’s what keeps me from moving to an AppleTV or an n100 box already.

What filters are you using in pihole to filter the fire stick ads?
habitualcynic@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Hagezi’s pro and above blocks the sponsored video ones which I found most intrusive: raw.githubusercontent.com/…/native.amazon.txt
These usually break the UI but you can still access apps so it’s functional.

- ktpx-eu.amazon.com
I’m using the hagezi list for now

How good is Jellyfin on AppleTV? My understanding was the app was a bit lacking…

Use SwiftFin app instead on Apple TV, but better than the Jellyfin app.

Swiftfin is the official Apple TV jellyfin app. Swiftfin is great on iOS, but hasn’t been updated on Apple TV for a while. It also lacks a lot of polish and features but it is being worked on. There should be an update soon.
I’ve been using infuse on Apple TV. Infuse isn’t open source and needs a subscription to watch most 4k hdr content. I think it’s worth it if Swiftfin gets an update soon.
Apple TV is definitely a better experience compared to Samsung and Android. Apps are nicer and there isn’t any ads, privacy controls and privacy statements are much better. Recommended content can also be disabled and only shows when your hovering over the relevant app.

Oh I haven’t made the leap yet due to the jailbreak apps but I’ve seen read that Jellyfin is decent on AppleTV, about as good as anywhere else. Probably not as polished as you’d expect on AppleTV but serviceable. I’ll update if I end up buying one!
