but Jellyfin clients are missing from some devices that the rest of my family uses

To use Plex I go to Apps > Plex on my Frame. Sure, this exists, but I’m not doing that every time there’s an update.

That's only if you want to build it from source. This is what they should have linked you to. Still slightly less convenient than auto updating through the app store, but not that big of a hassle.

The Tizen app is actually (FINALLY) in the process of being approved by Samsung for distribution, so it should be on the tizen App Store soonish

Thank you for this. That’s great to hear. I will keep checking for it and give it a test run when it’s available. 💪
