Install Jellyfin on VidaaOS based TV (Hisense, Sharp, Toshiba.. etc)

[Weinzii]

Hi,
great job for the installation process, it works flawlessly!

After the installation, I have a problem with the 'web app' not being able to play the movies. They start but hang juste after 1 second and then wait for data. What am I missing? I tried on wifi and wired network. The jellyfin android app on another box works very well with the same server.

Hi! Great to hear that the installation worked for you! 🎉

The issue might be related to your playback settings. My home server supports the following formats and transcodings, and I suspect that transcoding could be causing the problem. My playback works perfectly fine.





There is a debug window on the TV that provides more details about the output format, which could help with troubleshooting. Additionally, depending on the Chrome version of your browser, not all formats may be supported.

Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Jellyfin, so I can't provide a concrete solution right now. However, when I have more time, I'll look into how to enable the debug menu on Vidaa OS TVs via a function and integrate it into the project.

Let me know if you find anything useful in the meantime!
