netflix.com is in the top5 domains on the entire network, and i have a Raspberry Pi running 24/7 (with AdGuard Home), most queries are from TV.

That's great. It's nice to see that there are other people who care about self-hosting. Any particular reason why you are still using Emby instead of Jellyfin?

I tried Jellyfin so that I could move away from Emby, but the deal breakers for me were:

  • No way to view my music library in folders (I organize all my music by genres)
  • Terrible performance on Samsung Tizen (my primary tv)
  • Can't stream custom music radio stations by their m3u files

Other things that I didn't like:

  • Doesn't save the filters I selected when viewing the library previously
  • Doesn't have as much working plugins on home assistant (this may have changed by now?)

I truly do want to go to Jellyfin, but the biggest deal breaker of them all is the lack of support getting it to work on the Samsung TVs efficiently. Perhaps someday it'll change, but at the moment, I'll probably stick to Emby but keep an eye out on updates :)

That probably won't solve your issues, but I can tell you a little about my setup:

  • I use Navidrome for local Music streaming, it supports the Subsonic API so you will find a compatible client for it on every platform
  • I have an LG OLED "Smart" TV, but I never connect it to the network, instead I have an HTPC running Linux and Kodi that I use to access Jellyfin (that would solve your performance issue with the Jellyfin app on your "Smart" TV)

I really hope that your issues get solved soon, I wish you good guck
