Following months of testing, Plex has started to roll out its redesigned mobile app to Android and iOS devices, and it will arrive to everyone within the next week. The new app comes with an updated navigation system that should make it easier to access different parts of the app and find content to watch, along with a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.

It also has a button in the top-right corner of the screen for your Watchlist and more artwork across detail pages for shows and movies, as well as cast and crew profiles. In a post on the Plex forum, the company outlines a ton of improvements it has made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support.

And Jellyfin is better and free. I don’t trust Plex with my content and I don’t want their added streaming bloatware.

In some ways it is... In others it's definitely not.

My biggest problem is that I can't expose it on a domain for my family to get to. They don't know how to VPN and to educate them would be exhausting.

Install tailscale on your server

Install tailscale on their device

Thats it

Cool... point me to the LG TV tailscale app.. or the roku tailscale app...

SDNs in general are no different. App support is limited, specifically on devices that people are most likely to want to watch media content on.

And to say that tailscale is "that's it" is a bit disingenuous. On my setup (LXC containers) I couldn't add tailscale even if I wanted without faffing with interface stuff.
