Mostly because the target device is an ipad. Im not planning to write anything for the ipad itself, i just want to push the list to it via an existing cloud service.
I’m realizing this may be misguided and i may have to just compromise with the copy/paste approach we’ve been using. Just wanted to save the operator a step.
This really reinforces my decision to pirate content.
Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.
If you get a usb remote you can bind the home button to rofi or something similar to make a quickstart menu for apps and websites you use most often.
No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.
Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi’s wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.
Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.
For me a hotspot has been the least headache
What i usually do is set up a wifi hotspot from my phone, and connect the pi that way
Edit: just looked at your link. I think for the time being im going to use tailscale. Its a restaraunt, and they dont have a self-hosted server. Im trying to get around opening ports, so using an existing service. Your link did make me aware of cloudflare tunnels whick looks like it allows 50 users on a free plan vs tailscale’s 3. Although the 3 might work for them, I’ll have to check. Ill probably drop in an ngrok tunnel too so i can maintenence the pi remotely. (They are in a different state) i was mostly looking for advice on how to connect a port on one machine to another over a lan, and socat looks perfect
Actually, i found socat which seems to work just fine so far, and appears to be a standard linux command.
socat TCP4-LISTEN:8096 TCP4:192.168.86.2:8096
Thats a test i did with jellyfin at home
Oh that makes sense because when i originally set it up, i did want all traffic routed through it. I guess i didnt realize it didnt have to be
Something ive noticed from using wireguard from my phone is my traffic across the board slows down significantly while connected because everything is routed back home.
With tailscale can the user be connected, and only have a specific ip/domain routed through it? I also dont have access to the dvr’s internal system to run tailscale from it.
Anyway thanks for the lead, im reading up now
Jellyfin also has a web interface. http://SERVERIP:8096
Obviously, put your ip in there.
Well ill be darned. Thank you
Do you know about f-droid? It’s a foss app store for android.
Yeah but i dont want to buy a 10 year old system to play it

Ive been using them for a few years. Some stuff to note: you have to pay in at least 3 month blocks. You cannot pay for a month at a time. The prices on the website are just for your first term. After that it is a little more expensive, but not too much. Coverage wise it’s t-mobile’s network, so its good in major cities, but spotty in rural areas.
Ive been mostly pleased with them. When the wife and I go on trips, sometimes my phone gets no service, but she’s on AT&T, so her phone usually works fine, and she’ll turn on hotspot so i can get my messages.
Ok great, ill look into it!
