    I’m not one of the “run a pirate tv server for a group of my friends” users

    I hate this distinction… If you have jellyfin exposed without some other form of auth in front of it is the problem. It has nothing to do with friends or other users.

    Friends and other users make it hard to implement anything reasonable. If you’re running it strictly for yourself and have a vpn. Great. More power to you. But dropping Leaving this completely unrelated link to a better alternative here: https://jellyfin.org/ with no caveats as if it is a complete replacement for Plex is not the answer. Then when someone comes along and specifies why it’s not a good answer I get mobbed by the lemmy mob for pointing out why jellyfin is not as advertised (literally).

      Right. I don’t have Jellyfin exposed. Because I’m not trying to share its contents with anyone. That’s the distinction.

        Okay… so you’re visiting family. And you want to watch something on their LG tv. What do you do?

          That’s not a situation I’ve ever faced, but imagining the hypothetical, I’d play it on my iPad and airplay/stream that to the TV.

            The iPad will last a whole movies worth of time streaming a screen mirror? That’s impressive I guess.

            Edit: Thinking about it… wouldn’t you have problems connecting to the tv over the wifi if you have VPN active?

              I’m struggling to figure out what you’re trying to communicate here. I mean, yeah, probably. The iPad is notorious for its class-leading battery life under real usage. But you know, it can also be plugged into the wall with any USB-C charger. It’s weird to me that you’d even bring this up.

              I’ve seen you mention in several posts that you’re frustrated by the unfriendly response you perceive from this community. Have you ever considered that it might be your personality and not your views that’s causing it?

              Edit: No, I have no difficulties reaching local devices while connected to my VPN.

                Sorry but I edited my post seconds after you responded. My bad. Didn’t mean to edit under you.

                Nah, nobody here “knows” me. And you can’t discern “personality” traits in 3 sentences of text.

                  . . . you can’t discern “personality” traits in 3 sentences of text.

                  I’ve definitely formed an opinion based on our brief interaction. Is it hard to believe that others might have also done so?

                    Can’t stop you from doing whatever you want in your own head though can I? If you think you have the breadth of someones personality and thoughts after just one conversation… Then honestly I don’t really care about what you think. People aren’t that simple, issues usually aren’t that simple.

                    The lemmy mob I’m referencing is actually more of a downvote campaign… it’s the same group of people nearly every time.
