I am sorry. I have a Jellyfin server, but I just keep it LAN only.
Got a tip for us?

Can you share the issue you're having?
If _you_ can connect to it remotely, then your family member should as well; the process to get on your local network (to be able to see your JF server) should be the same.
Where exactly is the issue? Can he otherwise do all the same things you can do when you tail scale into your network?

Thank you for the reply.
Steps taken:
Family member created a Tailscale account and installed Tailscale on his devices.
I logged into my Tailscale console, went to the server device, clicked on share device, and sent the family member an invite via email, which was accepted. He is listed as a member.
Once the invite was accepted, I went back to the Admin console, and right clicked on the server address and provided the family member with the IP address shown in the console, which I subsequently added the Jellyfin port number on the end (8096).
Results: Family member tried to connect to the server via a web browser using the IP address I provided, and he gets the message (cannot connect to the server). He also tried connecting to the server using the Jellyfin iOS app and got the same results.
As a test, I created a second Tailscale account using my work phone with a different Apple ID, and went through the same steps above and got the same (cannot connect to server) message.
I do not have any problems remotely connecting to the server using the original Owner Tailscale account on my personal devices.
Yes! I'm polishing up the web demo and will share that here in the next day or so.
If you'd (anyone reading) is interested, email me j @ pixelbrite.site and I'll notify you / share links early. @Apple_Robert I'm especially interested in solving your use case if you'd be so kind to humor me.
I intend to have the server/web available publicly by end of the month.
Then I'll follow that with the native macOS, iOS and tvOS apps a few weeks later. Feel welcome to email me [anyone reading] if you want in that beta as well.

I agree. The only thing I would like to see is a bigger intro and credit skip button. The current one is hard to see and tap. In my opinion, the SenPlayer GUI is much nicer than Infuse.
