Actually there is a app for the TV of tailscale available I know fire tv android have it same goes for Google TVs you can install it and connect to your tailscale account and add the TV to your tailnet and you should be able to connect to your Media Server remotely as well Hope this helped 😁

Oh so if i brought a firestick on vacation i should be able to use a tailscale app on the firestick and access my server to watch on the tv at a hotel?

@@alwin7086 yes exactly the tailscale app is available to download on the firestick just download the app connect the device in this case the firestick to the tailnet (tailscale) once you do that just turn on the tailscale and place the IP provided by tailscale that was given to your jellyfin server followed by the Port number that you used for jellyfin and it should open your server from home 😁

​@@JeffComputerServicevery nice thank you for the information. Definitely going to try that when i go on vacation in the future.

Hey Jeff! Love the vids. Could you make a video about how to access web apps that run on TrueNAS remotely? I have apps (Transmission, Netdata, etc.) that I can access on my home network, but I can't access them out of my home, even when connected to TailScale VPN mesh. I feel like I'm missing something. Thanks!

Thanks for Watching !! As to your question do verify in your case you mention the Transmission app, in the Network Configuration part of the app make sure you have Checked ✔ (Host Network) having this enable allows the app to be accessible via the ip provide by tailscale for your TrueNAS and also put the port number the default port number is 30096 for Transmission i Hope this helps your issue P.S Not all app will work with just enabling (Host Network) at least for me it causes me issues i would recommend going into Tailscale select the (machine) you have for remote access and there is a part down below called (Services) in that Area you will see the IP address of the machine you selected and different port numbers this section is telling what port are already connected to that IP Address. P.S.S The issue that i have confronted is that the port number that uses a specific app does not appear in (Services) of tailscale in my case trying to connect would give you ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED i am not sure how to fix this

@@JeffComputerService I really appreciate all that information! Thank you so much. I will give this a shot.

What is tail doing? Is more secure? It give more anonymity? I can’t understand if I can use it in any way appart of opening ports of the router

@JeffComputerService

Ай бұрын

Well yes, it is more secure using tailscale you are not opening any ports in your Router, instead you are making your own VPN server with tailscale using this server, any computer you connect to it will have access to connect to it from anywhere and you can remove it at anytime you want 😀 Hope this helps 😁

@@JeffComputerService thx a lot, I see you don’t get many views I don’t understand why. Btw you can make a video that shows how to hide your own jellyfin server? Because i don’t want to get in trouble using jellyfin even if the film I have on is my own

@JeffComputerService

Ай бұрын

Well technically use a strong password for the admin account you make on the jellyfin server and secondly setting up remote access for it using tailscale that is a VPN. you are hiding it and only giving it access to certain computers on your server if anyone wants to access your media server they will the IP address of it or know a account you made on the server the user and pass. Hope this helps 😁 answer your questions or doubts

Does the public ip generated by tailscale changes if you reboot your machine (host/server) not client

@JeffComputerService

If I'm not mistaken tailscale will keep the same IP address for 5 months and then it will change

@@JeffComputerService Nice! Can we connect to the server without installing a tailscale from the client? Eg. I have a modified Nintendo switch that allows me to install homebrews, in my case I have installed Jellyfin, but there is no tailscale available for Nintendo switch, can we still connect to the server without the tailscale from the client?

@JeffComputerService

Ай бұрын

@@Gabo99 in your case you would need the (client) Nintendo switch to be connected to tailscale (tailnet) so it can find the jellyfin Server that is already connected on tailscale for it to work The other thing that you can do is you can install android on the Nintendo switch and download tailscale for Android and jellyfin for Android as well and that will work But in your case the server will only work on your local network for your Nintendo switch Hope this helped clarify your question

actually i did all the same playback is smooth no buffering in the same network but when i change to mobile network or other wifi network playback is too slow, buffering all the time and cant even play on lower quality. mobile network and other wifi network has good speed no issue on there.

Thanks for watching! As to your question did you make the jellyfin Server on another computer or a virtual machine so that the resources for that server are not used and just mainly focus on the server that will improve quality Because having the server in your main computer that you us might cause problem but having it on a virtual machine might make it more stable at least that what I would recommend for stability and since you are gonna setup remote access that will also help with performance at least for me it works I do get sometimes buffering issues on my mobile network but I think that's due to where I am sometimes the connection is good or the opposite I hope this helps clarify your question 😁

Thanks ! How to access the server via iphone jellyfin app ?

@JeffComputerService

Ай бұрын

You would need to download the tailscale app on to your iPhone once you do that and connect your phone to the tailnet just copy the IP of the jellyfin server provided by tailscale and the port number and it should automatically open your server Hope this answers your question 😁

I do not think this is an improvement but you can also open jellyfin on your browser phone just type in the IP provided by tailscale and the port number 192.x.x.x:8096 and watch your videos from there at least for me it works better than the app itself And if you're gonna make jellyfin server. I recommend keeping it making it on a different computer or a virtual machine so the resources stay stable and just mainly focus on jellyfin

Hi there, were you successful in adding the devices to the tailnet (tailscale)?

@Tech-Synthetic

@@JeffComputerService Some devices are incapable of being added, so it wouldn't be a very good solution for tvs or any device that can't use the tailscale app natively which is a good majority of how a lot of people use jellyfin.
