That’s smart. Thanks.

How do you manage a separate auth (I imagine HTTP auth) with app clients?

Yes, but that’s not always doable, e.g. on LG TV’s.

It depends on the TV. They have official clients for Android TV, webOS and some more.

If you have a static IP it’s super easy. If you don’t, it’s less easy, but you should configure Plex the same way if you don’t want to use their proxy, which lowers the speed anyway.

Why not? It depends on your situation, but if you have a static IP or a dyndns service, you can just open a port to your Jellyfin and reach it from anywhere.

You can also stick a reverse proxy in front of it, if you want to feel safer.

Good luck installing Tailscale on my friends’ LG webOS TVs.

Leaving Plex and switching to Jellyfin would work even better.

The most annoying thing about Jellyfin is that there’s no way to consolidate all of your servers under a single interface.

With Plex, I have a huge library made up of all my friends’ libraries.

For your photo collection I’d also suggest Immich.

Yeah, for sure. They can’t survive if people just paid 50 $ ten years ago. They’re going to restrict the service for lifetime users sooner or later.

I’m afraid it will be fake and manipulated here in the future.

It’s interesting to see the different kind of comments here and on Redshit.

Here, people are smart and they are switching to Jellyfin. On Redshit, if people mention Jellyfin in a comment they get downvoted right away.

Also, my mom doesn’t know what Tailscale is. She just want to watch movies

One other sad thing of Jellyfin is that you can’t access multiple server at once with a unified view

It’s useful to have one of your friends host a home server and share all the movies with your friends. Then you can watch from the smart tv
