Cloudflare Caching Rule and Worker for Jellyfin Video Transcoding – Configuration Rev

[TheDreadPirate]

Caching of video is not really suggested for Jellyfin, which was why we removed the documentation for it. There is only one situation I can think of to justify video caching.

1) Your reverse proxy is located at a VPS/hosting service you rented/purchased
2) Your actual jellyfin server is located somewhere else from the proxy (your home?)
3) You use syncplay a lot with a lot of simultaneous watchers

If all 3 are true, caching of video makes sense. And, in this setup, the caching would be on a host you likely own/control.

HAVING SAID THAT, since you would be using CF's services, it is against Cloudflare's TOS to serve video on their free tier proxy/caching services. They have a separate service, NOT free, for serving/caching video.

I know you are using CF Workers, but the same TOS applies.

As such, we cannot assist with violating CF's TOS.

Rule 2-7.

Post information that may violate the ToS (Terms of Service) of other services; if a ToS is unclear, you should assume that it is against the ToS.
