I did the same for a while but then I was on Holliday in Italy and it was painful trying to get the internet fast enough to stream my media over tailscale.
So now instead, I just keep everything on a laptop running Kodi and if I'm going somewhere, the laptop goes too. No worrying about internet connectivity or bandwidth. Just content ready to go.
I get that this doesn't work for everyone's use case. But I thought I'd share anyway.
I dunno if jellyfin does it but I just sync shit with Plex to my phone. Works great. I don't need to stream it. My progress is saved whether I stream or sync.
The great thing about self hosted is you can just download your stuff. No "you haven't been online in 3 days so you can't watch this video on the plane" nonsense.
Depends on your HW and line speeds, if you have somewhat slow speeds you need to transcode s lot and that will hot your system quite hard.
