Jellyfin on Roku TV? (feddit.ch)

I'm interested in using Jellyfin. I learned that you can install the Jellyfin "channel" on any Roku device to stream to it. I have a TCL Roku TV and when I search for Jellyfin nothing appears. Also when I follow the link from Jellyfin's website to Roku's website it redirects to the main channel page and when I search for it there it doesn't appear.

Is Jellyfin still available on Roku? I can't find anything online indicating that it shouldn't be.

I installed it on a Roku device 2 weeks ago. Was as simple as searching for it on the device like any other channel.

Dunno if it's been delisted since, but I installed it on all my Rokus and Roku TVs a few weeks back without issue.

Jellyfin also has a web interface. http://SERVERIP:8096

Obviously, put your ip in there.

It works fine. My coworker said the older streaming stick did not perform well.

Better ask on one of the many Jellyfin communities:

(I am getting a bit annoyed if the number of Jellyfin support questions here)

Do people not self host it?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Not really. I mean technically yes, but it's practically more like an app you install on your home theater PC.

But that's somewhat besides the point... Jellyfin support questions are better dealt with in a Jellyfin community, especially when there are so many of such support questions lately.
