    Isn’t Jellyfin something that I have to run through a computer, phone, or tablet? My living room TV is just a Walmart special with a Roku box. I’m too lazy to get more technical than that.

    Edit: I stand corrected. I see it on Roku. I’ll see what it does. Thanks

      That’s just the Roku client (which is what I program for). All it can do is pull data from your Jellyfin server using the server’s API. You’ll need to have the server software running somewhere and point the Roku client to it.

      By itself, the Roku client will do nothing.

      I don’t know about that side of it, I just run it as a docker container and play it on my PC or cast it to my Chromecast from my phone to play on the TV.
