It's not about what I can do. It's about me having a gigantic headache ever getting this access on a TV. Please tell me exactly how that works for my users? Once this system leaves your house and needs normies to use it, everything is a headache I can't host the TV app on my server. It needs to integrate with this authentication. I know how to run a reverse proxy. I'm not a moron. I do it for all my other services. That's not a valid solution when the app CAN'T LOGIN TO IT. Lol. I don't think this is that complicated. You seem to be willfully ignorant of how people actually use these apps. Once we're outside my house, Jellyfin is useless outside a web browser. Period. It's too much hassle for my users and all the self hosting magic in the world doesn't fix that.
