Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April (www.plex.tv)

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

If only jellyfin had an app on Tizen, I'd be all aboard.

It's not super easy, but you can install it on tizen tvs by enabling developer mode. I was able to follow this walk-through to get it on a new TV for my relatives.

Since their TV was newer, I had to do extra steps to create a custom certificate.

The whole process took a while, but it's doable.

Thanks for the info! How is your experience with using the app? Is it buggy? Does it need frequent updates?

[–] Futurama@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I've only personally used the tizen app a couple times, but my relatives have used it a bunch with no reported issues. I have not had to update it yet, but it's only been a few months. Definitely not frequent updates. My jellyfin server has had one update since then, but even the server updates aren't coming in on a weekly basis, so I don't expect their client will break anytime soon.

Firestick has a built in app which is how I open it on my tv

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Does this "tizen" not have a web browser?

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It has, but browsing using tv remote is a nightmare
