  • Rpi3 is pretty slow but you’re right it’s ok for testing.

    Jellyfin doesn’t pretend to do external access well. Some people put a proxy in front of it, others do something like Tailscale to create a private network over vpn. Then you set up the Tailscale app on your mobile devices and it should activate for specific ip addresses or dns names.

    Consider using tinymusicmanager to fix up all of your tv/movie metadata first.




  • When they are streaming is it transcoding?

    If not, it should be reducing the stream quality to adjust to the available bandwidth.

    If it is, it could be limited to your pc’s available resources. You may want to turn on hardware transcoding.

    Jellyfin has logs that will tell you if its transcoding and how well it’s working.

    Tailscale does add additional hops to their route and has bandwidth limitations but it should be fine for streaming.





  • Back pain can lead to depression and suicide so don’t let it get out of control if possible.

    I keep a stash of drugs that escalate. Tylenol/advil for minimal pain. I’ll go to 400mg advil without much thought.

    After that I have some Rx strength naproxen that usually does the trick. After a few days of that, it’s onto my last stash of muscle relaxers and a tele-health call. I’ve only had to get opioids once or twice and I try to avoid them due to how they mess with my guts.

    Also be aware that it could be a kidney infection. Usually that pain will be on a single side.
