[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 226 points 9 months ago (21 children) Jellyfin is great :D permalink fedilink source hideshow 26 child comments replies: [–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 48 points 9 months ago (5 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kratoz29@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago (2 children) 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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago Yes you can do the same thing for Jellyfin. I use Synology ddns and setup subdomain in reverse proxy to jellyfin port. For tailscale, I previously use this but needs to add the jellyfin port after the tailscale IP. permalink fedilink source parent [–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kratoz29@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) So how do they access from, let's say a Smart TV/Android TV device? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scrollone@feddit.it 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) Jellyfin apps ask you for three things in order to login: URL, username, password. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kratoz29@lemmy.zip 1 point 9 months ago (1 child) Thanks, that clears everything up for me...

I stayed with Plex for a long time because Jellyfin had a rough time with live TV (antenna) and I already had a PlexPass because of a sale a long time ago.
