Hi TCP users,

Currently, I have a homelab server that runs Jellyfin with direct access to local media content and a reverse proxy point to it. While it works well for people in Europe (where the server is), it is quite slow for some of my friends who are living in Asia. I am having some options in mind:

  • Hire a VPS in Asia and set up another Jellyfin instance there. This works but I don’t really want to have two Jellyfin instances with two databases and also accessing to local media content will be curbersome to manage.
  • Hire a VPS in Asia and set up a CDN but I am not sure if it will ever work with Jellyfin ?

So I would like to ask do you know any things about this and any idea to improve this situation ?

Thank you very much!

    don’t know what “slow” means in your case, but jellyfin clients have a buffer setting and increasing it should improve things for them.
