Can't you just open the URL in a web browser tho?

Most TVs don't have web browsers lol. And again - without a VPN you can't just stream it through a web browser.

I've been doing a bit more research and it looks like the way to go is jellyfin + a cloudflare DNS tunnel. Also there appears to be a native jellyfin app on most Android TVs available. So, no, VPN or a web browser is not required at all

Most TVs aren’t Android TVs lol.
