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.
Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced
kratoz29@lemmy.zip 1 week agoI 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?

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.

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.
