Jellyfin is great :D

Does jellyfin have an easy way for remote streaming? I have a couple dozen people on my Plex server, most not very tech savvy, so setting up tailscale and running remote that way isn’t an option. I have a Plex pass so I haven’t been screwed by Plex yet, so I’m not rushing to get out, but I could see myself running both.

Yes-ish, it’s harder for you than the users. But you will have to secure a URL and they will have to remember that URL. Also there’s some security issues with some unsecured endpoints on Jellyfin. That said I have mine out there exposed to the net and am comfortable enough with it.

I already have to expose my Plex Media Server with a Tailscsle funnel (for IPv4 only) for IPv6 I use my Synology NAS reverse proxy which can be accessed globally. I have been maining this setup for years now that I forgot if I can access my PMS outside without either those solutions lol (I am GGNATED but IPv6 works fine as stated). The main thing here is that I don’t need my users to do anything, they just open the app and access it, no need to remember IPs/URLs or install VPNs to my server… Is that possible with Jellyfin as well?

No, there’s not centralized host server to connect your users with your server. They need a fixed IP or URL to access your server from outside your network.

So how do they access from, let’s say a Smart TV/Android TV device?

Jellyfin apps ask you for three things in order to login: URL, username, password.

Thanks, that clears everything up for me… Now if you could set that URL from the server itself and not the client apps… Certainly I don’t think that’s an impossible task.

The app needs to know where to connect to. Jellyfin doesn’t have a centralised server like Plex
