Kodi 19.0 - Hackdot

I couldn't figure out how to bypass logging into Plex with the latest version, so I dumped it and moved to Jellyfin which is fully open source. It does all I need, including having both Roku and Android apps, and supports DLNA so I can stream to various devices around the house. Don't miss Plex at all.

Unfortunately there's no support for Samsung tizen TVs which is keeping me on plex

Samsung TVs are so horrible with spyware that it is best to keep them off the network and use an attached device like a Shield or Roku. This is also true with most other "smart TVs"

I understand the spyware part but one thing i noticed is that i dont get any ads which a lot of people I saw complaining about online. I think ads are location based and i'm outside their zone.

no but from what I read Samsung uses their own hardcoded DNS on their TVs to bypass DNS filtering
