I currently have a Kodi server up and running connected to my minimal network and can access it form my desktop...
The samsung manual says that I should be able to connect it to the lan port on the TV and the TV should recognize it and connect using DLNA...
Unfortunately this is not the case, the TV does not recognize it in any fashion... There is also no client player on the TV that will recognize the server so the point is moot...
At this point I'm not locked into any specific server, I will switch to Jellyfin if I can get it to connect.... I know Jellyfin is a little more technically involved in setup than Kodi and that does not shy me away as long as I can fine a clear set of steps to set it up...
I've been reading that I need to side load a client for Tizen onto the TV before I will be able to access anything... I've seen the posts on r/jellyfin laying this process out...
But since r/jellyfin is now closed I am unable to ask questions over there... I followed the links to here so I can ask questions and receive guidance....
I'm a complete newbie as it deals with media sharing and streaming, heck I don't even own a cellphone...
So I'm looking for help, any help to get my two year old Samsung 4k TV to play my files off a standalone server... (or if it is an impossibility and I should junk the TV and buy another that is fully DLNA compliant)
I know the forum just moved here and will be slow to pick up steam, so, I am patiently waiting for anyone with knowledge to offer any advice...
