You can set up a jellyfin client on the Dell and control it from anything else. Jellyfin has clients for Linux Windows and Android. Once set up you can output anything from anywhere and control any of them from each other.

Thanks. If I access the client from another device, it’ll still just stream to that device though, won’t it? The same as using the Jellyfin web gui. I tried the Jellyfin-vue client, and that’s what it did.

I’m trying to keep everything in containers, but I could install something bare-metal (Linux), as long as I can access it on the home network.

  When I cast from the Jellyfin app on my phone (or the webapp) (to either the Jellyfin app on my Android TV box) or to Kodi (through Jellycon/Jellyfin addon or DLNA), the content is playing independently of my phone. This means that if I disconnect from the device I’m casting to in the Jellyfin app, the content will keep playing. It’s not streaming through my phone, but I can reconnect to regain remote control. I guess it’s the same case for Linux clients. If not, you can use Kodi with Jellycon addon (and not the Jellyfin addon, since that will sync the library to Kodi, which is unnecessary here). You will need a screen to set it up, but once that’s done + auto-launch Kodi at boot if you wish to, it will work headlessly if necessary as a client to cast to. Another reason to use Kodi is the very wide variety of formats it supports.
