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 you want to directly connect your TV to your PC running Jellyfin via ethernet? With no router in between?
If that is the case, you would need to manually set an IP and subnet mask on both your computer and your TV. Normally your PC and TV would be dynamically assigned an IP by your router. I'm pretty sure most modern devices will detect this setup and shouldn't require a crossover cable.
For the "gateway" it should be set to the PC's IP (whatever that is), including on the PC itself.
........ PC
........ TV
Something like that.
Thanks DP ...
You saved me the trouble of having to look it up to remind myself..... Basic networking 101 stuff I know, but I haven't used it in so long I appreciate the reminder...
I have Jellyfin up and running on the server right now and it's connected to my desktop which hasn't any problem running it... I can access the server thru the client and the native file system equally well...
Now I get to figure out the client side for the TV... I'll do a test straight up and see what the TV has for client access and if nothing (cause of the Tizen op system) I'll be looking into reprogramming the TV with the info from the link.... (putting a Jellyfin client on a Samsung TV)
A have an Nvidea 1080TI (pascal) running in the server and will be using Nvenc for transcoding the same as I do on the desktop so I'll be able to run the server headless and pretty much transcode anything out there except for 8K.... The TV is a 4K so it should be fine, as long as I have a client to access the server....
Thank you very much, all help is greatly appreciated... Even if it seems like the basic stuff...
