I currently have two TVs, one I use an appleTV with and the other with a googleTV HD (device formerly known as Chromecast), but they both have issues.

The jellyfin app on appleTV is messed up, it fucks up audio and subs all the time, and in general has a hard time with media that has multiple audio tracks, not using the audio I select with the remote.

The googleTV just stutters with almost everything, direct stream or transcoded doesn't matter. All of my library is just 1080p, I have proper wifi to it, all mobile devices stream just fine.

So neither of these provide me with a solution that really works.

What solutions can you recommend, that allows for seamless navigation of jellyfin with my remote? I don't want anything resembling a mouse/keyboard combo for navigation whatsoever.

I will agree, I got an Nvidia shield pro two years ago, I was a bit afraid because it's a product from 2019, but damn it's been rock solid, it plays everything, it's quite open and not limited like some other boxes, it's even faster than the most Samsung smart TVs that I have tried, I can't recommend it enough, even at the end of 2024 it doesn't have any issues when playing YouTube and Plex.

I bought two like two months ago and they still hold up. I was very leery buying a 2019 model in 2024 but zero regrets (and I'll be getting another).

I wish it had another HDMI and 2.5GBE but those aren't deal breakers by any means.

Yup, they work awesome, it even supports upscaling to 4k direct from the shields GPU, I haven't tried yet as I don't have a 4k tv but it's also nice, my favorite thing about it is the remote, the backligh is a godsend.
