1. Use some software that allows you to remote log-in into your parents' server so that you can manually get the media onto their machine.
2. Sync your media files over the internet to your parents' server.
3. Use a portable drive(s) to fill up with new content, then when you go visit your parents, you transfer the data off of the portable drives onto their server.
Also, make sure their Jellyfin server is set to auto-scan so they don't have to worry about that step.
Watch status will be kept separate if all you're doing is transferring the media files only to your parents' server.
The tricky part is if you want to transfer over metadata. Maybe Jellyfin gets the metadata wrong on their system and you have to log in to fix it, or one of you nfo files has watched status meant for you and not them.
Hi thanks for your response. Currently I use chrome remote desktop to remotely add media. I was hoping to avoid having to do this, and option 2 is the ideal solution. I will have a look at the suggestion made by another user.
