You suggested Wireguard, not me. I’m pointing out how it isn’t a great solution to the problem that was presented; you can safely access it remotely with a VPN, but then that isn’t very useful for sharing with others, and you can expose the service to the internet at large, but then you’re opening yourself to risk.

Your mom’s Tizen TV doesn’t have a Wireguard or Tailscale client, so you’re going to be the person configuring her router, or setting up a Pi or something, as well as now being the designated tech support.

I hadn’t thought to automate connecting to Wireguard when not on my home network, that’s a good call. I’ve just set up Tasker on my phone and tablet.

I’m still using Plex because Jellyfin refuses to play surround sound on my Nvidia Shield. I do have a Jellyfin server running alongside Plex, with synchronized progress, for the inevitable point where I will have to jump ship.
