Yep, exactly what I've been telling people. And then they complain that tvs dont have the ability to have the tailscale app on them. So, then buy a cheap android box, even an Onn 4K from Walmart would work for like 25 bucks and install tailscale and jellyfin on it.
True again. That's what I run upstairs and downstairs on my TVs. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use RPis for the same sort of thing if you really really didn't wanna touch any Google stuff, which I would understand.
I also totally get people having slightly different uses for their media servers, like maybe they share their collection with friends and family members who aren't as tech literate/don't wanna use a Google TV when they already stream everything else on their PS5 for example. For those purposes, it has especially made sense historically to go with Plex.
Well, my android boxes have degoogled roms on them so no google dependencies or requirements.
Yeah, I mean it all depends on what a person wants. I just immediately went with Jellyfin and tailscale from the beginning and couldnt be happier.
