Not sure about if Samsung TV has Google play store where the jellyfin or infuse app exist, but you can do chromecast / airplay if not Google play store
Samsung TVs run Tizen OS, not Android TV, so obviously no "Google Play Store".
Also apps are pretty restricted, most are just able to use web-technologies, so nothing heavy-handed.
The process in getting TV Apps approved on platforms like Samsung's Tizen OS is pretty annoying for most developers/open-source stuff.
There is an actual app for Tizen TVs, but it needs to be sideloaded manually: https://github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds
Then why use the shit when you can get a GoogleTV stick for less than 20 bucks.
etc.
Definitely no Play Store on his TV. I don't think it has any Chromecast /Airplay apps either, but even if it does I don't think they're any substitute for Plex or Jellyfin.
Just don't use Samsung tv then and get an inexpensive android TV box...
Infuse is Apple only AFAIK
