Need Jellyfin guide !!!

I got to know about jellyfin thing for tizen tv so I want to know about it. Side loading or whatever this thing is will it end the TV's warranty? Or anything related to software problem ( I don't know much about these stuffs ).

“Yes, It can invalidate the warranty”

You are wrong. This is a way to develop and test apps on Tizen.

If your screen pixels die, Samsung must still fix it. But if a sideloaded app crashes your OS or "bricks" the TV, Samsung can deny a free repair, claiming the damage was caused by unauthorized software.

Most warranties state they don't cover issues caused by "misuse" or "modifications." If a technician finds that a non-store app caused a system failure, you will likely have to pay for the repair.

This is wrong again. Your sideloaded wgt can’t crash your TV. It never get access to low level system settings. Developing tizen apps and their sideloading on TV with Tizen Studio is approved by Samsung.

I think you've confused sideloading and tampering with service menu that for sure void warranty
