You might want to consider streaming it on your TV. Modern TVs should have a Plex app at the least. Or use a Chromecast or other setup. I watch on my couch with the TV remote. Its the same experience as watching Netflix.

Plex isn’t Jellyfin though. Lots of TV’s/TV OS’s have Jellyfin app but it’s pretty basic. I’d recommend an AppleTV with Infuse, it’s super built out with all sorts of great features. It’s a better app than all of the streaming services

Ew Apple

I know this might sound crazy, but I use both Apple devices AND non-Apple devices! Oh the horror!

Macbooks beat the shit out of any comparable windows laptop. And iPads beat the shit out of any android tablet. And AppleTV is the best TV OS by far. Life must be hard when you just hate things because its popular to hate them.

Crossing my fingers for the new Snapdragons, especially Linux support.

The M series MacBooks are just in another league vs x86 laptops.

Yeah I got a M3 MacBook Air recently and it’s by far the best laptop I’ve ever had. Battery last forever. If the new snapdragon chip lives up to the hype then one of those will likely be my next

I like the appleTV OS, but I really despise the remote.

No, I just like freedom

[–] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same here! That’s why it’s so amazing that I can buy different brands for different uses! So free to do what’s best for me! Wowzers!

Maybe one day you'll understand

I am streaming to my TV. 50" TV on my desktop for a daily driver, 55" (wired) on the wall for media.

I guess what I meant was to run it on a TV-native platform that you control with your remote, instead of streaming your PC display to the TV and still using the mouse and keyboard. Xbox has a Jellyfin app for example. I use Plex and my TV has an app for it. Also I can use Chromecast and throw it up from my phone or PC and control that with the remote.
