    Hi everyone,

    I hope you're doing well.

    My friends and me are hosting our own jellyfin's instance.
    We would like to be able to access each others jellyfin without loosing our time switching between instances (a.example.org, b.example.com, c.example.net)

    We thought we could try to make something like a federation-like system where our jellyfin's instances could communicate with each other. We were thinking about a plugin in which we provide credentials for an account in another jellyfin and through this account make the content available for streaming to real users by proxying most of the requests.

    Do you have thoughts about this ? 
    Do you think it's a good idea ?
    Has anyone tried to do this before ?
    Or anything similar so we have a starting point  ?
    Where would it be useful to look in the codebase ?

    Thank you for your time

    Two projects that I know of that try to implement federation:

    https://github.com/Angablade/JellyfinFederationPlugin
    https://github.com/LLukas22/Jellyswarrm

    Here is an existing feature request: https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/184/...ed-servers

    I don't believe we have any plans to implement federation.
