I’m still learning what I need to do in order to get up and running on the internet, but I think my plan for my dad to connect to my Jellyfin is to build him a Raspberry Pi and just hand it to him.
It’s really pretty similar either way. Install the app, put in login details. Jf just has an additional login detail of your URL. Yes, that’s slightly harder. No, it’s not a big deal
Jellyfin is nice that even a noob like me can struggle a bit but get it working. :)
Now guide your parents through installing Jellyfin on their TV so they can connect to your instance.
That’s why people get Plex.
What’s the hurdle?
Input server, input credentials, no?
And then for extra credit, try doing it on whatever shitty “smart” TV OS that their TV uses…
