Important 2025 Plex Updates
www.plex.tv
Personal Media and Beyond You’re going to be hearing a lot from us this year—we’ve got a ton of exciting...

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

      Jellyfin + Tailscale, the perfect combination.

          The ability to watch from anywhere.

          Install on the Jellyfin server and share that server (or just the IP with the Jellyfin port) with whoever you want. Now they have access to Jellyfin and Jellyfin only.
          That’s how I set stuff up for friends and family.

          I don’t have a static IP adress, so I use Tailscale to connect remotely to my Jellyfin server (located at home).

      They do not have chromecast support. (Atleat the last time i checked) Thats a deal breaker for me, would love to use it.

        … I’m using Chromecast and Google TV, though Chromecast isn’t very good, really, and Google TV stared showing commercials every now and then since a while ago, so that too will be on its way out.

        But yeah, they’re supported

        I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

        Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don’t know.

        IIRC it has it. Not if you’re behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.
