Hello! Ive had my LG Smart TV for almost 2 years now and i have some issues with it. Apart from the obvious data collection and shady opt-out “do not sell my data” settings theres just a bunch of other magical issues with Jellyfin, WebOS and their apps that annoy me.

Does anyone have any alternative Smart TV OS, tips or tricks? Would love to run another OS entirely that is privacy friendly but I dont even know if its possible.

    WebOS is linux and uses a webview of jellyfin iirc. I use a fire tv stick because it can play everything, including 10bit HDR DV. The ads are annoying but it could be worse. I only use it to start jellyfin and two other apps. I hate needing an amazon account. If you find another android tv stick that works equally well, use that one.

      I started using the webos port of kodi + jellyfin addon. It was surprisingly easy to install and doesn’t require rooting. Kodi plays all the DV profiles I’ve tried. Only issue was a slight audio delay, but once I dialed that in it has worked flawlessly ever since.
