Emby has a native Samsung Tizen app and Jellyfin doesn't. That's a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

I almost went the direction you did, but I got frustrated enough with Tizen and garbage ads in Samsung's UI that I went the Android TV stick direction. It's an extra $40-50 per TV, but I feel a bit more in control; now I just don't allow any of the smart TV functionality to be enabled, and keep the devices disconnected from the network. Thanks to HDMI CEC, the integration with the Samsung remote is fine, though I typically use the Google TV remote instead.

Edit: also, last I checked, Tizen still has no Twitch app, which is a bigger problem since Twitch had Samsung remove the unofficial one. I don't really like Twitch much, but still. YouTube's Android app is also better than it's Tizen app, even on low-end Android TV sticks.

Totally agree. It's an issue of getting it to work for family.

I have an old Samsung (2015). I stream jellyfin via DLNA. Works for me
