This is maybe a little paranoid but… i have a jellyfin server that i let some family members use. one of them intends to use an app for apple tv, which i think is swiftfin or something like that. i am a bit skeptical about smart-TVs and the data they phone home with, so i was wondering if there is any chance that i could be compromised due to the linux isos i host on jellyfin due to some sneaky smart-TV stuff?

    First: compromised how?

    Second: probably just being paranoid, Apple TV + open source apps are about as good as you’re going to get in terms of private viewing.

    The Apple TV might report app usage stats to Apple, but unless the app (which it doesn’t) reports other telemetry that’s not really useful in terms of anything other than, well, seeing that someone uses an app that plays media from Jellyfin.

      I dont want to be receiving dmca letters (or similar where i live). So I mean having access to what is being played (the names of the files would be a dead giveaway).

        Let’s be real, it’s in those companies best interest that we never know even if they are seeing that. As soon as someone got a DMCA notice because their Roku told the government they pirated Deadpool, there would be a massive amount of damage control required.
