I've got a newer TV from 2021 and it's great. On an older one from 2015 it surely does not.
Outside the latency, the biggest problem I have is matching shows to their metadata. Anything Disney related (Hocus Pocus, for instance) wants to tie itself to something totally random. Some anime (Frieren) refused to recognize the second season and keeps matching episodes to Season 01 titles/screenshots.
It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and cumbersome. I've heard Sonarr/Radarr integration help, but then I'm down a rabbit hole of apps to support apps to support apps.
I just want something seamless and out of the box to organize my digital library, not a second job doing IT work to support a miniature Netflix.
Huh. Guess I'm lucky that I haven't run into these issues. No latency issues either, but I'm only using it on my local network anyway so I guess I'm gucci because of that fact.
