Trying to watch the game and do i really want to stare at this BS?
No google. I don’t want your data mining creep. But of course you’re going to make it difficult to remove your intrusion without breaking. I know it’s bad just by the fact that i am unable to remove the message. And there is a timer for how long you long press as proof that i know what i am doing when i decide to sell my soul.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this trash without actually trashing my tv?
Here is what I do, but ofc not for live sports.
My TV does have access to my wifi but I blocked its MAC address from actually accessing the internet. I have a jellyfin server on my network that also can not access the internet. Now my tv can see the jellyfin server without any data leakage, cause they are on the same network :) maybe this helps some of you.
Why should the jellyfin server relay the internet connection from your tv if it isnt a router or proxy server??
It doesn’t, that’s the point. There is no internet access for either the TV or the server.
I think his question was why bother keeping the jellyfin server disconnected when there is no way for the jellyfin server to forward packets for the smart TV.
For the record there are other valid reasons for keeping jellyfin offline, just trying to elaborate on the op question
Jellyfin and TV are barred from accessing WAN. They can both access LAN only, and see each other.
No adverts, no telemetry.
All configured in the router, and no extra ip blocking rules needed on jellyfin or the TV
Sometimes I think about changing out my 13-year-old 1080p TV for something with 4k. Then I see crap like this and hope it never dies.
It really sucks that dumb TVs apparently just don’t get made anymore
Most TVs are dumb if you never hook them up to the Internet. I don’t allow my OLEDs on the Internet generally and simply use a different device to stream and do all the things (webOS is actually pretty cool but LG is obnoxious like this sometimes). Even if your TV is good enough, this shit happens anyway. At least if my shield gets obnoxious, I can replace it with a different device.
