But then how is your tv supposed to find the jellyfin server? Better to block your TV's mac address from accessing the internet.
Plug in any tiny computer with HDMI out.
The TV is a display. You want anything generating images separate, in case you find it disagreeable, and want to obliterate it with a ball peen hammer.
Buy an Intel NUC that isn't the lowest tier and open the web browser session then press F11.
This is what I did - but not a NUC, a Lenovo m920Q (same difference).
I picked mine up at an electronics reseller and it was sub $200.
Or install libreelec, one of the offical jellyfin kodi apps and a flirc remote + usb reciever for an all in one media center box thats fully couch ready.
An Apple TV, a Roku, an old PC, a fucking pi, anything can speak to jellyfin just fine.
The Roku stick connects to then jellyfin..
