We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

I'm actually using Jellyfin but I hate the fact that there's no easy way to install a client on Samsung TVs (Tizen OS) :(

Soon(tm) it'll be on the store. Having to build and push to tizen is the absolute worst part of jellyfin (if you have to) otherwise there's clients for every platform - even LG's webOS.

There's also finamp for music specific playback, so jellyfin can pretty much do everything

Yeah fuck Samsung

There is a alpha client and instructions available here: https://smartdigihere.com/jellyfin-on-samsung-smart-tv/

However as stated further down the article, it's easier to just use a web browser and access your jellyfin server that way. Login, bookmark the URL (don't forget to include the port) and then hit full screen.

Note: You may need to tweak (server side) your transcoding and subtitle settings.

Is there an easy way on any smart tv? I've got a Sony, it's been a pain for some things but I haven't tried jellyfin or emby on it yet.

Sony is AndroidTV, so just install Plex from Playstore? Or Jellyfin if you meant that

You could try emby? Seems to have a Samsung tv app according to their docs https://emby.media/emby-for-samsung-smart-tv.html
