I've had so many instances of free to use, lifetime licenses, and purchased software that have turned into subscription services that I refuse to install anything that requires an account unless it can't be avoided. The fact that Plex required an account be created to view my own local content years before they started charging for use made it obvious subscription fees were coming.

Jellyfin works great. Combined with Wireguard it works great anywhere.

My only hitch making the switch to Jellyfin is that a couple of my TVs just don't have a jellyfin app whatsoever. I wish they did, I can't stand all the changes Plex has made over the last few years specifically.

They are, at least the one that's given me the most trouble is.

I think Jellyfin already released to Tizen OS, although not all model supports it https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen/issues/222#issuecomment-3831638580

If you want to try, it should be possible to install it yourself instead of waiting it to be available in Tizen app store

Yeah, my TV doesn't have Tizen as far as I know. I found that jellyfin-tizen app and tried manually installing it but my TV is about 8 years old now.
