Local direct play when connecting to reverse proxy

[Pamphlet6795]

Sure.  But Plex's infrastructure, which acts as the reverse proxy, is tightly integrated with their server software.  So they can do some programming wizardry to make that work.  Jellyfin does not have that kind of integration with any reverse proxy.

If you're using a subdomain for your jellyfin reverse proxy, perhaps you could do some DNS wizardry on your home network to have that subdomain resolve to your local Jellyfin IP.

Thanks for the idea, looking into this. Not sure if I can get the subdomain to resolve from port 443 to 8096 internally, but might be able to just make jellyfin run on 443 so it matches.
