Most TVs don't have web browsers lol. And again - without a VPN you can't just stream it through a web browser.
I've been doing a bit more research and it looks like the way to go is jellyfin + a cloudflare DNS tunnel. Also there appears to be a native jellyfin app on most Android TVs available. So, no, VPN or a web browser is not required at all
Most TVs aren’t Android TVs lol.
Cloudflare Tunnel limit content delivery networks. In other words, they will probably suspend the service when people try to start streaming or even the use of apps like Immich if used for video uploads/downloads. I think they have something called Claudflare Stream for video.
