AppleTV hardware now supports Tailscale, with exit nodes.

I am astonished that Apple allowed this blatant circumvention of region coding, but they did.

Get it while it’s hot, I guess.

    i should give jellyfin another shot, its been some years. When i tried it last, it was not a nice experience. But i refused to use plex after it required login for even offline access (i wonder how many people remember that. If you lost internet access, you couldnt watch plex)

    so i switched to Emby, which is still closed source, but didnt have the bullshit plex requirements. The advantage was [sic] that being closed it could offer proprietary stuff like codecs or DTS. (dts and similar were only available on plex and on nVidia TV device)

    Everything i do (as much as possible) is oss, but some things just cant.

    Ill try jellyfin again in the next month or so and see how its doing.

      That’s actually how I went, through Plex, then Emby and now Jellyfin since last reinstall, with a brief detour through Servio.

      I don’t begrudge Emby for trying to make money but it leaves a bad taste when a project starts at open source, builds up features on volunteer work, then takes those features behind paywall. And at the end of the day the Emby experience is not that much more polished than Jellyfin, which is ridiculous. At least Plex offers a smooth experience for the money.

      Servio is very basic compared to these three but some people like that about it. If you don’t want to bother with any niceties and just want something where you dump files and play them it might be for you.
