Hi all,

Not too long ago I remembered that I had an old tower sitting in a garage which still had enough parts to run. Needless to say I went and bought 18 TB of surplus disks and some SATA cables, hooked them up, and configured RAID5 before installing my VPN client, my torrenting software, and Jellyfin.

This seedbox/media server setup has been completely revolutionary and I am floored by how great Jellyfin in particular works. I don’t even have this tower wired - it’s using an old crappy wifi dongle I bought around 2012 - and yet I can seamlessly stream all my content to the computers on my network without a hiccup.

Now in my home, there are two separate networks and two separate internet connections for reasons I wont get into. I want to make the server available to all the devices on both networks (particularly the television sets on the network the server does not reside on).

I believe I can just run an ethernet cable from the WAN port of one networks router to a LAN port on the other router, but wanted to see if anyone has had to do something similar.

Furthermore, while one television on the non-server network has the Jellyfin application available on it, the other televisions do not. As I understand it, trying to chromecast from a phone or something can be pretty painful to configure due to requiring certs and encryption. Is my best bet to get Jellyfin on the other TV’s to do something like buy some Raspberry Pi/Libre Sweet Potato microcomputers or some such and hook them up to each TV to enable easy access?

Otherwise, if anyone has any ideas or has done something to get Jellyfin available for multiple TV sets which don’t support the Jellyfin app, I’d be really happy to hear about your solutions and setups.

Thanks
