I don't have Kodi installed but suspect you already have it streaming to your tv.
With jellyfin installed on your pc, go to the dashboard and click on DLNA.
Check the following boxes and change any values to what I have listed.
Enable Play To DLNA Feature
Client Discovery Interval 60
Enable DLNA Server
Blast Alive Messages
Alive Message Interval 600

On Windows you may have to allow UPnP access through your firewall.
On your TV you should have a menu to add connections from other devices.
On my LG I didn't have to add JF as it showed up in the connection bar which shows
all my HDMI ports and shared content devices.
All I had to do was select it and jellyfin was fully available on my tv.
You do not need to install Tizen on your tv for DLNA to work.
While DLNA is not as robust as a dedicated app for your tv, it works very well
and plays without issues on my tv.
Edit:
You may want to take a look at this page.

Thank Jacks....
What I'm trying to do is figure out how to stream directly to my samsung TV (Tizen op system) from a windows based media server over network cable without a router/cablemodem... the issue is a player that can operate on the TV for accessing the server...
on the link I provided in my first post, there is a jellyfin client that has been ported to Tizen and can be side loaded onto my Samsung TV which will directly interface with a Jellyfin server, (thru a Cat 8 network cable) on the windows box using the TV's remote...
That's exactly what I want, a standalone server directly, (no internet access) streaming to/feeding the TV... I'm beginning to believe that Kodi will not/is not able to do this and probably never will...
So I'm looking at switching over to jellyfin on windows as the server and exploring more on the client side for the TV...
The link you provided helped a lot in my understanding what I'm trying to do...
Thank you..
Been doing even more reading from location thru the link you provided and am thinking I'm understanding that Kodi is a share player, not a real server like jellyfin....
