Hi there!
Wondering what types of setup people have that allow them to, while the internet is down, still watch/stream media from their servers. I have a stacked Jellyfin library that, and would like to see this feature/setup in my own house. My Unraid server is on the other side of the house from where the living room is. Is there actually a sane way to achieve this?
You shouldn’t have the do anything specific at all, local network stuff works without internet and Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any internet servers like Plex does for authentication.
Plex allows you to add a list of local IPs that can access your server without authentication, just have to be sure to do it while your internet is up or else you won’t be able to log in to edit the setting.
Not a great feature when you have multiple people in the same house with different users and watch histories.
It does but it’s a bit of a weird way of doing things.
