I was permitted to close my account....without any hassle. Sign into my.roku.com and delete account is as the bottom. Selecting "don't want to use this anymore" gives you a box with 255 charachter limit (because of course they don't want to hear a real reason) and then when you hit send you just get "Thank you, account closed, if you come back you will need a new account"
Surprisingly, suspiciously, painless.
Ok...I have an old chromecast that I use when I travel to connect to my jellyfin server. It's already giving me crap in the home screen for movies and series on platforms I don't even have. What would be a cheap and portable device I could use when I travel so I can hook to any TV?
Thanks!
If it's just Jellyfin, a SBC (like RPi 3B+ or better) running LibreELEC (just enough OS for Kodi) with the Jellycon add-on would do the job.
(There's also the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on which integrates your Jellyfin media into the native Kodi library, but my success with that has been limited.)
Configure LibreELEC to auto-connect to your phone hotspot, then you'll be able to control it using the Jellyfin or Kore app for selecting the media, and the Kore app for more advanced Kodi remote control. In my experience, at least, Kore is better for configuring subs and audiostreams, and for fwd/rev and fine-grained seeking.
Actually, I thought that Jellycon as the solution would make it impossible to select the media to play from the Kore app, but I just noticed that it's actually possible:
In Kore, select "Addons" in the sidebar, tap "Jellycon", then navigate to the "Content" tab, and tap "Jellyfin libraries". This means that you can control it all from Kore! - though, imo, the media overview is a bit prettier in the Jellyfin app, but I think the trade-off is worth it for a more sleek solution. You'll only need the Jellyfin app or webapp for forcing library scannings, editing metadata and such.
My cousin wanted a Roku TV as a wedding gift. I said no. Got Sony instead. I like to think he's thankful for that with all the shit Roku has been doing
