    Is it possible to reach a jellyfin server through connecting to a PC with mobile hotspot?

    I'm a long-time Jellyfin user, but my circumstances changed and have to drive a lot, I have a tablet on the dashboard and my laptop with the server is always with me.
    No router though, so I'm thinking how could I access the content without downloading the files to the tablet?

    Cheers

    You'd have to turn your laptop into a mobile hotspot.

    Managed to solve it with this and connecting to the new hotspot adapter's IP. Thanks!
