    For the Android TV client click on the person icon (top right next to the clock). Then you'll see an option to add an account. You'll then be greeted with a page with a six digit number. If you look down, you'll see an option that says Other options: Use a password. Click on that. Then you can enter a Username and password of the kid account.

    That's a lot more complicated.  So you're saying you have two separate networks? 

    Router A - Jellyfin is on. 
    Router B - Cat5 to Android device

    Two separate networks won't be able to see devices on each other. You would need to run Router B as an access point. 

    Or set up remote access using a remote proxy: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-i...rse-proxy/

    Caddy being the simplest solution.
