Wondering what types of setup people have that allow them to, while the internet is down, still watch/stream media from their servers. I have a stacked Jellyfin library that, and would like to see this feature/setup in my own house. My Unraid server is on the other side of the house from where the living room is. Is there actually a sane way to achieve this?
It probably does tbh, I’ll have to check the documentation to double-check though. Anything that isn’t foss tends to get a handful indeed; Jellyfin genuinely is a better experience than Plex imo.
I’ll prolly give it a shot at some point. I bought lifetime plex long before jellyfin was a thing. Is there an experience similar to plexamp? It’s too good.

I know for me I had to give Plex the local IPs to force local streaming because it would try to stream remote even on local network.
Jellyfin doesn’t need any particular setup to work directly from LAN because it doesn’t ever try to use a central login provider the way Plex does.
The only reason OP is struggling with it is because they set it up so that they can only connect to it via Tailscale.
