through a website
I access it via the app on my LG TV with WebOS, so not technically a website but yeah, over the network via an API at least 👍
Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 day agoIt’s a nonsensical statement. Jellyfin is accessed through a website. You’re responsible for routing to it.

It’s a very sensical statement. I’m not exposing a whole ass website on my own network just for remote viewing. With plex you don’t need to do that.

You don’t need to do that with jellyfin either. It includes the website for convenience, but you can just disable it or completely remove it and have just the server.

How do you communicate with the server outside of your network? You’d still need to expose those ports directly to the internet right? (excluding VPNs/reverse proxy etc)

It is still an issue that is easier on plex which is why I run both because I can’t setup and troubleshoot vpns for all my family that has access. Plex is much easier on that way. Jellyfin is great but look what you need to mimic a fraction of plexs power 😆

I mean, if you put restrictions on the requirement sure. At that point it kinda becomes a loaded question though.
If you remove the restriction, just use a cloudflare tunnel.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Yes you do. It just does it for you including handling SSL.

Inside the network you do, but not for remote access outside the network.

Outside the network you still have to open your server to allow plex cloud to access it and potentially tunnel your traffic through plex.tv if a direct connection doesn’t work. This happens automatically but it does happen
With Jellyfin you just have to supply your own relay, like Tailscale or wireguard, which does require more setup but is completely free, means that you can stop your media traffic from being funneled through services that harvest your data (which plex absolutely does), and doesn’t go to shit if plex.tv goes down

Let’scrypt and port forward. Sprinkle on some free ddns with a sync script/job to keep ddns pointing to your real public IP. Can even roll in some headscale if you’re feeling adventurous
