Not OP, but I wasn’t able to get Plex running natively. It’s not listed in the software center to install (a lot of apps seem to be missing) and trying to play video through the web browser would cause it to freeze, requiring a force-quit (both Chromium and Firefox). I may be able to install it through Command Line if I enable Developer Tools, but an easier solution might be adding it as a non-Steam app on my Desktop PC to stream to the Frame.

Have you had the chance to use it with Plex or Jellyfin? I’ve been really interested primarily for watching media.

I think many apps are missing due to missing ARM support. So no Heroic or other GOG client either.

Yeah, I watched The Road To El Dorado yesterday on a giant cinema screen. The surroundings actually gently change color depending on what’s showing on your flat screen. I just wish you could choose a black void as surroundings. But the default starry sky is dark enough.
I used the normal Jellyfin Desktop app installed as a flatpak through Discover.
You don’t even have to use the desktop mode. All newly installed apps are added to a menu on your dashboard, plus some of the already installed ones are there. No idea how they chose what to put on there and I fear it will become cluttered with time. But for now it is nice. Given time we’ll probably be able to change it.

That is sick. Also, great movie.
