POLL: What non-Apple TV devices do you use?

I’m also using a raspberry pi

I’m at my parents house for the week, and their Samsung Smart TV is surprisingly nice and has all the major apps. Post what brand TV you’re using if you chose TV in the poll.

I have a KU6300 Samsung 4k tv from 2016 and while their smart tv platform is nice, it has issues. Mainly it is laggy and the App Store is never updated with new tizen apps so it’s useless to look on there. I bet most people who would even have the technical chops to figure out a OTA DVR set up has some kind of streaming device hooked up to their Samsung tv.

I have the Samsung UN65JU7500 Curved 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2015 Model) tizen os

I added a second poll to the top with some Smart TV options. If there are ones missing, let me know and I will add them.

Looks like when I added the second poll, it wiped out the existing results from the first one :slightly_frowning_face:

Ironic that you had to “repost” for 1st survey. Seeing Kodi on your list prompted my response:

Although I haven’t used Kodi in a long time, earlier today I added Kodi to our Nvidia Shield. I had forgotten how well Kodi handles ffd/rew. Plex is great for UI, but playback options are miserable.

Now, if I can just get Kodi to (library) load more than 5 movies from the shield’s removable storage, I’ll be all set to test out playback on recordings created by Channels DVR running on the Shield.

(Note: can navigate to a list of all recordings, however it is a flat file list by title. But still want a bit of that UI bling…)

Update:

Added a network share with >400 movies, now I have a grand total of 16 movies on the Kodi “Movies” library.

Obviously, there is a glitch, either in my setup or Kodi. As Kodi was just updated, I tend to think that this anomaly may be due to Kodi install, however I have deleted and re-installed…no change.

Would appreciate anyone else who can do a new add of Kodi on Shield and test also, then post their results.

TIA,
Debbie

I don’t really use Kodi anymore, and have been using MrMC (Kodi fork) on my Apple TV and on my Shield. It has native Plex and Emby support (as well as just adding things like Kodi), so I connect it to the Plex Server on the backend to show all my movies/TV Shows that are in Plex.

For Kodi, there’s an official Plex addon as well, so I’d use that over adding in libraries. I did add some files to Kodi, and it worked just fine (picked up 400+ movies), so it could be your naming scheme.

Tim, thanks for tips and feedback. I’ll try tomorrow. All the movies I’m trying to add are Channels recordings.

Ah, I don’t have any Channels movie recordings, mine are just from what I buy. I set up to record a few movies while I’m out this morning, so I’ll try when I get back from the theater this afternoon.

It only picked up one of the four movies I recorded today, so it’s not just you.
