  • Rpi3 is pretty slow but you’re right it’s ok for testing.

    Jellyfin doesn’t pretend to do external access well. Some people put a proxy in front of it, others do something like Tailscale to create a private network over vpn. Then you set up the Tailscale app on your mobile devices and it should activate for specific ip addresses or dns names.

    Consider using tinymusicmanager to fix up all of your tv/movie metadata first.






  • When they are streaming is it transcoding?

    If not, it should be reducing the stream quality to adjust to the available bandwidth.

    If it is, it could be limited to your pc’s available resources. You may want to turn on hardware transcoding.

    Jellyfin has logs that will tell you if its transcoding and how well it’s working.

    Tailscale does add additional hops to their route and has bandwidth limitations but it should be fine for streaming.
