    This is theoretically possible but not in real time because you would have to copy/mirror the database between the two. So, if your intention is to watch a film during the switchover, this is not going to work. If you switch over with a downtime of a minute or so, this can easily be done.

    Watching a film certainly breaks here, in particular when transcoding is involved. Assuming the transcode folder is accessible by both machines because it's on a NAS you would only have to worry about the database. And although Sqlite supports a mirror database natively, this is currently not used by/implemented in Jellyfin.
