when reading through the jellyfin with chromecast guide i realized that it would probably be less effort to just let the casting api be public, with the added bonus that i could then cast my library to any device that supports it. but that seems like it would paint a giant target on the server.
what’s the recommended way of doing stuff like this? ideally i want to be able to go to someone’s house and just play some of my media on their tv.
not that any of this is doable in the near future, since i’m behind cgnat and won’t get my colocated bounce server up until spring.
Doesn’t IPV6 allow direct external access even when cgnat is in use for IPV4?
Yes, if you have IPv6, you can open a port in the firewall and have external access. Whatever you are accessing it from must have IPv6 as well though.
that’s also a possibility, but i’m going to have to whine to my isp.
