  I made the switch a few months back as well. Have you had the issue where"Recently Added" just straight up doesn’t work? It’s about 50/50 for me whether my new downloads show up there or not, and if they do, it’s usually inserted somewhere down the list between other things I added months ago. Not sure if there’s a workaround, but it’s my #1 complaint with Jellyfin. Otherwise, it’s been great.

    How is your underlying file system set up?

      It’s an Unraid share. I can’t remember what it’s formatted as off the top of my head, but it would have been the default fs option as of about 4 months ago. Maybe the file system itself is not storing create/modify dates correctly?

        Hmm, shared how? NFS?

  awesome. thanks for chiming in. I will have to check how to do external streaming without opening my network up to the world (metaphorically).

      Thats not what I meant. I of course have wireguard set up for administration and my own streaming needs. But friends of mine who were able to use plex by just making an account but now they cant because of course there is no relay server etc. I’ll have to think of a way to make it available to them (easily!) without putting my network at risk.

        This is how I do it: codeberg.org/skjalli/jellyfin-vps-setup

        Mine is public, but I block every state but the one all of my users live in(family) and I never get unwanted visitors. Couldn’t say the same if I lived in NY or CA.

        If they have static IP addresses, you may be able to whitelist them in your proxy, or maybe there’s some sort of dyndns client/relay software you can run if their ips change.

    You’ve got options.

    Can your router open ports from a hostname vs an IP? If so, clients could run dynamic DNS.

    WG client side isn’t really that hard, though. All the fam run WG 24/7 on devices, and only traffic for the internal network goes through it.

      I know. the issue is my friends dont have networks run by me. So I have to gain access to them and have to change setups which makes the situation likely to blow in my face. its just not a good solution imo. People have already suggested a relay server which will likely be the best solution.

    I used synology and reverse proxy. It was pretty easy to set up. The tricky part was going into jellyfins setting and connecting your reverse proxy to the path you made.

    Overall my kids and family can now access it anywhere.

      I run a reverse proxy too. are you talking about a public one? I’m probably gonna use a relay server for it which essentially is the same I guess.

      source

      • Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes, the public one. I just use synology ddns as the public address. I’m good with programming, but when it comes to IT stuff, I’m dead in the water. So, their infrastructure helped

  Give me a package that runs on my ds214play and I’ll switch in a heartbeat

    I really wanted Jellyfin working in my DS214Play with DSM6, and I noticed that a package for these evansport CPUs doesn’t exist and it’s officially not supported, so I tried myself and I succeeded.

    • tuhriel@infosec.pub ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thanks for the link. It seems they got it somehow working on DSM6, but if I check the thread, it’s a lot of ducttape and locktight involved especially to run with DSM7. Might try it out on a rainy sunday
