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

Jellyfin doesn't have an official native app, but there's a quasi-official version [1] you can run. That said, it does require putting the TV into dev mode so you can sideload the app.

I've been running it for a while now and it's actually pretty good, I haven't had any major issues except one freeze when searching, but I'm pretty sure that was the fault of the raspberry pi running jellyfin

Yeah this is rough. Not the kind of thing you can easily do on a relative's TV. I would rather buy them a Roku/Chromecast at that point.

There are docker builds which are trivial to run from your laptop.

It requires some terminal stuff, but only for installation.
