  “Very easy” assuming you aren’t trying to share with non-technical people or your elderly parents.

    I’ve walked them through using tailscale.

      How do I install it on my mom’s Chromecast or my sister’s LG TV?

  Dude how the hell am I supposed to walk my mom through setting up tailscale on her Roku?

  And what if you have multiple friends all sharing each others libraries?

  This is not a feasible solution let alone a “very easy” one.

    I was thinking a computer! Multiple people can connect to your tailscale and jellyfin at once. That’s not so much an issue.

      You completely ignored his question, Tailscale is not a valid solution for your mom’s Roku

  Also Wireguard, which is what Tailscale uses.

    Yeah, they both do. That’s a lot more manual though.

  Completely unreasonable to need to walk people through this. It’s OK to say jellyfin can’t do remote access.

    Well, I never said it did out of the box. I was giving people the example of how I did it, in case they wanted an easy option for PCs. No offence meant, my friend.

      You’re replying to a message that literally says that, so it makes you sound like you think Tailscale is somewhat integrated into Jellyfin, because the message originally said exactly that you needed a third party app to solve this issue in Jellyfin
