I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I set up Jellyfin like a month ago and it took about two minutes.
Great; now stream remotely. And setup an app on an AppleTV.
Streaming remotely via tailscale is fairly easy. Cloudflare tunnel apparently works too, although it is against their ToS.
Can't speak for Apple TV though. Setting up clients on Android based systems is as easy as entering the server address and then logging in.
The jellyfin service was super easy to set up. I just set up the container in Unraid and was done with that. Took me a minute or two.
But what about a Jellyfin? Have you setup Jellyfin‽ it’ll solve all your streaming problems, that Jellyfin! Forget about any other alternatives, Jellyfin! JELLYFIN!!!
