Anyone care to share their experiences with some of the less common Jellyfin frontends? Which ones are most in need of contributions?

I've had a decent experience with the Samsung TV (Tizen) client. It's annoying to not have it on the app store yet and to jump through the developer-mode hoops to get it installed, but to be fair it was a one time setup and I've been happy with it since then. Seen some occasional slightly janky menu navigation, but really it's been far better than I expected.

If you install the DLNA plugin for Jellyfin, you can cast to Samsung TVs. Just use your phone for the UI.
Too bad it works only as native package. Or at least for me I was unable to work with DLNA reliably for around 2-3 years. It was working then it was gradually doing worse and worse till completely stopped. But I am using custom Linux box for my audio setup now so I can just open browser and then control it directly via my phone app. Could be worse :)
