Why use kodi *and *jellyfin? Jellyfin is its own thing, and without all the awful cruft that comes with Kodi.
It also has native apps for windows, linux and... FireTv.
There isn’t a good way to get the jellyfin app running on a properly open and free os. You need an android tv box, fire tv, Apple TV, the tv os or something similar. You could run it on Linux, but there isn’t a good well supported out of the box works with tv os like Kodi offers with libreElec.
Android may be open source but not the setup to make it work with a tv well. If you want privacy on a tv you need kodi.
So you're using Kodi as the OS on the TV itself? Not the Kodi App or Kodi backend?
I'm still struggling to understand how that would work, and still have Jellyfin in the mix - could you please explain exactly what you mean?
There are is that a properly open source and free that support Kodi without much configuration.
Nothing like that exists for jellyfin apps. You have to use one of the prosperity operating systems to use the jellyfin app with a tv first os.
