What else is the “remote HTTPS connection”? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

    just thought Stremio might be quicker and easier, because you can just give one temporary link to friends, without much setup on their side. [If it works at all.] I’m not that familiar with WAN on Jellyfin or Plex, but I doubt it is easier than just giving a link they can just stuff in VLC / MPV / (a browser?). Any idea how the experience is for an outsider/guest to whom you want to share something with on jellyfin/radarr/sonarr ?

    In practice, I’d more often than not share with absolute tech morons

      Fair.

      Remote HTTPS connections through stremio are going to need some sort of certificate; it’s likely you’ll have to run a reverse proxy through caddy or something to let people easily access it from the outside.

      For friends - I set them up a user on jellyfin and point them at media.mydomain.com and they get … essentially a netflix interface. I tell them their username and password, and they just use it like plex/netflix.
