You're responsible for setting up remote access. Which actually isn't that hard. Several IT and network admins of the community (myself included) hand out documentation on how to do this. Without completely ruining your security. With Plex, some of the application communication is routed through their network. It requires an active internet connection and you must create an account with them. They have third party analytics embedded, use tracking pixels, beacons and device fingerprinting.

For the server admin, maybe 10 minutes of reading and another 10-20 for setup. For the users (if any), they just need to input an IP or URL along with logging in. And it doesn't rely on external servers to connect like Plex does, which is always a bonus. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Is jellyfin only usable with computers or is there a way to use it with smart tvs/consoles? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kryllic@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) It should have its own native app, it does for FireTV and Samsung iirc permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MannODeath@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago Also on Roku. permalink fedilink source parent [–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago also on LG smart TVs permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blaiz0r@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago It has a few clients available for different devices, I'm using the Android TV client for example in my Philips Smart TV permalink fedilink source parent [–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) I keep trying, I have an extremely large collection and it keeps falling flat on metadata matching.
