    agree in principal, but in practice:

    1. parents who live across the state

    2. plexamp for music

      Remote access is definitely a pain, and just surfacing the ports is a bad idea.

      Finamp is close. No visualization, No normalization, and there’s gapless playback but no crossfading.

      I use tailscale to watch videos and play music remotely.

        Crossfading and normalization would both independently be dealbreakers for me. I can’t go back

          Unfortunately for a crossfading they need to wait for jellyfin to provide it on their side.

          I wouldn’t be surprised to find a normalization plugin though.

      1. You absolutely need to be careful sharing your own media with people outside your household as that’s probably illegal. If you still need to you can setup a VPN.

      2. The Jellyfin music player has recently seen a lot of love

        I would be genuinely surprised if fair use draws the line on format-shifted, legally purchased media, at “remote watch-together”, leaving format-shifting and local watch-together in-tact.

        If it were up to the studio’s interpretation of the law, you’d need to purchase a license for each person during local watch-together.
