Thanks! Someone else said video streaming is against their TOS, so I may have shot myself in the foot

Can you elaborate? I've been trying to find a way to expose jf to the Internet safely without a VPN, and I'm getting mixed messages from people.

I just got a cloudfare domain the other day actually.

For a reverse proxy, would cloudfare be sufficient?

This is what everyone always says, and yeah, for most people this is probably the most secure and easiest option. But for me it's too much hassle for my family, too restrictive, and not at all what I'm looking for.

However in this thread I've learned that JF supports https, so if done carefully and properly, I can expose it to the Internet directly, which is what I plan to do. Eventually. Plex is still easier for now.

Thanks, you and others in this thread are the first people to ever tell me about this.

Everyone is always saying tailscale, but that's too complicated and restrictive for my family.

I'm not afraid of port forwarding and dynamic DNS, I've played with it before. My main concern is just doing it safely, not exposing something to the Internet that wasn't designed to be exposed. Security risk, and all that.

Obviously a VPN is the safest way. But as long as JF is reasonably robust and designed to be exposed, I'm happy with that. I just literally didn't know it was designed that way.

Thanks!

Love mine, but the motor is a little weak

Don't forget deleting things you "bought" from right out under your nose.

Seriously, I did the same thing, early times pirating, only for my whole family. And when Netflix was good, requests for TV shows and movies went way down. I only had to pirate really obscure stuff that wasn't easily accessible.

But now I'm back in full swing, more than ever before honestly, out of necessity. And I don't see it slowing down.

Thanks, I actually have it installed and I've been playing with it. It's been playing smoothly.

The problem is that the authentication with my account is failing, so I can't get my subscriptions and watch history. I'm still working on figuring it out

I'm having the same problem with revanced right now. Buffering and pausing and often never recovering.

It's what I want from an app like this 🤷‍♂️
