No method to connect via set-tops #6

Closed doamatto closed 1 year ago

doamatto commented 2 years ago

Currently, streaming content off Plex has been restricted for awhile to only while inside Tailscale. There is an issue with this: there is no method for devices that don't outright have a method to connect to a VPN to be able to use Tailscale, namely an Apple TV.

It's possible using a network broadcast from a computer that's connected and using a subnet router could be a viable solution, but I'm not sure if it can be relied upon. This would remain an issue regardless of the platform we use, assuming we can't use something like a SOCKS proxy to an always-on device on-site of that users.

This is still an issue, but admittedly a low prority now. I'm slowly planning to either create in or out of house an alternative that can be deployed in-house in place of or alongside Apple TVs that should be able to run on an RPi 4 (lower in theory, but I need the highest graphical support as possible for video encoding/decoding).

I'll likely touch on this issue more in the future once that is nearing a stable state or a beta phase where I'm confident to release my work.

tvOS 17 now has VPN support – Tailscale will likely add support in the future.

Android set-tops don't have this issue and, as such, I'll close this out.
