Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom "install this app on your tv and log in", which is exactly what Plex does.
I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.
I'm not a hardcore tech person and this is exactly the issue for me as well.
I want to be able to stream my music collection when I'm away from home without having to get an associate's degree in networking.
Tailscale makes this easy if you are the only user.
Easy if the device you're trying to listen on has a tailscale app and a JellyFin app, which is unlikely unless you're using your phone or a tablet/pc.
You saying you wouldn't have those things away from home? Or a firestick.
No, I don’t generally carry Firesticks around with me.
So assuming you are traveling, what do you bring with you if it isn't a mobile streaming device, a laptop, or a mobile device that you are going to stream to?
