📺 Watching movies from Anthony's server
Do this once on your iPhone, then once on the TV. Take it slow, it's about 10 minutes total.
📱 Part 1: Your iPhone
- Open the App Store, search Tailscale, and tap Get.
- Open Tailscale and sign in with your Google or Apple account.
- When it asks to add a VPN, tap Allow and type your phone passcode.
- Tap the invite link Anthony texted you, then tap Accept.
- Go back to the App Store, search Jellyfin, and tap Get.
- Open Jellyfin and type in the server address Anthony texted you.
- Sign in with the username and password Anthony gave you. 🎉
📺 Part 2: The Google TV
- On the TV home screen, go to Apps, search Tailscale, and install it.
- Open Tailscale and choose Log in. A square barcode appears on the TV.
- Point your iPhone camera at it, tap the link that pops up, and sign in with the same account as before.
- On the TV, choose Allow if it asks about a VPN.
- Go back to Apps, search Jellyfin, and install it.
- Open Jellyfin, type the same address, and sign in with the same username and password. 🎉
✅ Every time you want to watch:
Make sure Tailscale is ON, then open Jellyfin and pick something.
😕 If it won't load:
Open Tailscale, turn it off and back on, then try Jellyfin again. Still stuck? Call Anthony.
