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
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
Plex recently switched the remote watch thing to be behind a paywall. If your PC/App was also on the same local network it would probably work.
You can stream from a jellyfin server to Kodi
I been rocking minidlna -> Kodi for 10+ years 😂
I don't get this? is this because I have a lifetime pass?
Either a lifetime pass, or you actually configured local access correctly instead of botching it (or ingoring it entirely) and then coming to lemmy to complain.
User error, at least you figured it out. It’s always free to stream in your own network.
People often involved with piracy probably love entering personal information in that context...
I used Plex about 12 years ago. The first time my internet went down, and I couldn't use it, I stopped using it. Garbage. Not what I wanted.
I used Windows Media Center as long as I could, I loved it. But, eventually, I had to leave Windows 8 behind. Now I use Jellyfin and SABnzbd, it works okay most of the time, but I don't serve media to the outside, so I don't know if it works for that.
I would go with jellyfin, but my stupid old Samsung TV has tizen and can't find a way to install it.
You could plug in a firestick or something similar as jellyfin has an android app.
