@tehstu @socketwench @vkc Jellyfin isn't, but the smart tv itself is, as are the devices sold by apple, amazon, google, roku, etc

@miah @socketwench @vkc well, but it would be the same with a Kodi device connected to HDMI, right? Sorry to nit pick, I'm just trying to understand what additional tracking might be at play. I've turned off device and Roku picture scanning, for instance.

@tehstu @socketwench @vkc kodi is a open source application. Its not tracking anything.

If a device is hooked up to a smart tv through hdmi its possible your tv is doing automatic content recognition still and collecting all that data.

If you really want to limit what can be collected, ditch the smart tv, go buy a used display from a thrift store.

@miah @socketwench @vkc Gotcha, thank you! Yeah, I've turned all that nonsense off. Assuming Roku honors the setting.
