The tizen version is finally close to release. I don’t use a Samsung TV but in-laws do and I don’t like installing the dev version.

    Yeah, the Tizen app will be huge for me. I’ve been dual-running Plex and JF specifically because a few of my users have Tizen devices. And there’s no way I’d be able to explain sideloading to my “throws up their hands and says it’s too complicated as soon as they see anything unexpected” relatives over the phone.

    Luckily, I got a lifetime PlexPass like a decade ago, before JF even existed. So it’s not like supporting Tizen is costing me anything extra.

    This general attitude towards giving up when something becomes unfamiliar is wild to me, because in any discipline they're even slightly good at, they'd take a minor hurdle as a learning experience, plus they have you to walk them through it, so it really isn't a big deal.

    This was made abundantly clear when I installed the Jellyseerr app (basically just a webapp) on my Dad's phone, logged in for him and walked him through this process:

    • Use the search bar
    • Select the show
    • Select the season you want
    • Click request

    "That's too complicated I'll just ask you when I want to watch something"

    I sent him a Signal message in a new group called "Jellyfin guide". It should be easy to find since I'm his only Signal contact.

    Just follow the guide.

    A week later, "hey can you download this for me?"

    It’s learned helplessness. They hit a roadblock they couldn’t figure out, and instead of trying again, they just went “well I guess this tech stuff isn’t for me.” And now that’s the attitude they fall into every time.

    It’s like if someone lost their first board game, and just wrote off board games entirely because they aren’t any good at them. And any time they do need to play a board game, they can just call their favorite nephew to play it for them.
