Comment on Tizen vs WebOS for self-hosted media apps?

All the TVs built in stuff is not going to be the best experience. Doubly for self-hosted. A tv with android os, or a dongle inserted into a tv will do much much much better than samsung or lgs apps. An appletv too but then you’re spending a lot more

I know. But I need something to fall back to, or meanwhile I have the money to buy all the Chromecasts.

I agree with echo. A tv with android OS is far better than webOS or Tizen. I have samsung tvs and LG and loading jellyfin onto them is difficult…involving developer mode and toolkits to self compile and manually update. Atleast android OS has access to the same play store as chrome casts.
Fortunately, if you are looking to spend money on samsung or LG, Sonys run androidOS/google tv in just about all their tvs these days, price is near enough the same and you arent fiddling about just to install an app.
