Cloudflare CDN - Pyth0nym - 2023-11-02
Anybody tried setting up cloudflare cdn with jellyfin? I ahve problems wit slow streams to my friends in US (I'm in europe) Only gets about 4 mbit and we both have musch more speed than that. Read that it could work great on plex. If anyone here have this setup I would appreciate a guide.

4 Mbps is a bit slow, even when considering the distance. And, AFAIK, Cloudflare's free tier CDN doesn't do/allow video. And their video CDN only has "Contact Sales" for their pricing.
You should look into setting up a proxy with a VPS or dedicated hosting service. Preferably one that specifies where they are located so you can pick one that is optimal for you and your friends. Nginx can be configured to cache the content it serves. So if a couple friends are streaming the same video, it is only sent once between your server and the proxy.

Here is the documentation about caching.
