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?

I know for me I had to give Plex the local IPs to force local streaming because it would try to stream remote even on local network.

Jellyfin doesn't need any particular setup to work directly from LAN because it doesn't ever try to use a central login provider the way Plex does.

The only reason OP is struggling with it is because they set it up so that they can only connect to it via Tailscale.
