Is the nvidia shield TV still the go-to box for streaming content to your TV?

I don’t really need much, just something that can pick up jellyfin. hulu/HBO/etc. is a bonus

What exactly is your problem with Plex? I’ve used it for years and there’s not even a hint of ads. They bow offer their own content as well, but you can simply remove that (or just not add it in the first place) from your start page. Other than that?

All kinds of problems. Most recently they’re sharing your friends recent activity to you via email and vise versa, without your consent. Also I have removed their own content from my dashboard several times but they keep rearranging it and re-adding it.

Is this via social / account stuff within the plex ecosphere ? Ive never used any of that (wittingly) including seperate user accounts in my household. Is it between such accounts you’re referring to, or more insidious than that ? Ive been plexing for some years but always have one eye on jellyfin. If theyre doing anything dodgy with data I will jump. Need to have another look at their policies and settings - its been a while. Good to have a headsup.

Jellyfin is not a for-profit project so there’s no motivation to push non-sense like that.

There’s also no motivation for them to dedicate a ton of resources to build a slick or easy to use system, but those are your choices.

Interface is riddled with stuff that isn’t on my local network.

I just want something to manage the stuff on my local network!

Anyways… I now use Jellyfin a lot for the above reasons … until it doesn’t work lol.
