I'll be interested to see how Huawei responds. They already sell a lot of phones in China with no GApps so they must have their own ecosystem of sorts. That said, I suspect that whatever Huawei does will be just as bad (or worse?) for

Just the usual ways of exposing a service to the public net. Port forwarding or VPN would both work fine. Jellyfin does support UPnP.

It's not exactly as nice as a custom built app but I just discovered today that the official Roku Media Player app will automatically discover Jellyfin servers on the local network with zero configuration. I just happened to stumble up

I've been trying out the Firefox picture-in-picture feature for a few months now and its evolved into something I use every day. I don't know whether it's right for a browser to add that feature rather than the OS, but Ubuntu

Why not just whitelist channels and disallow ones with less than say 500,000 subscribers. Surely nobody with that large of a following who produces kid targeted content would burn their own channel down just for the "lolz".
