Well I already have jellyfin running in a container, just have to figure out how to get mum’s TV to work with it I guess

<edit> log in on a local IP and not the network name and it’s working again. but I’ll be moving to jellyfin from now

      i’m not likely to wrangle installing and maintaining wireguard on my mums cheap smart tv

      and if that’s the solution, as i said you get plex local playback so that’s free still anyway

        Yeah, Plex makes it easy…other than dealing with their cloud data breach.

          which they handled about as well as you can: prompt and clear notification without trying to pass the buck

          the potential of a data breach is just a fact of life with any SAAS product - bugs happen… and it’s exactly the SAAS part of the product that makes the invites/login/aggregation of servers so smooth

            I understand people want ease of use, I prefer selfhosting and no cloud intervention just to be safe. But, to be pedantic, we should say cloud or external server, because SAAS just means software as a service, and there are lots of SAAS products that have no cloud aspect and are fully local.
