Using a NAS to redirect to another NAS for streaming ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi, I have a hypothetical question that is probably going to sound very dumb once someone shows me a very simple workaround :

In this situation : there is a properly setup server in house A with a running jellyfin/immich server, and there's a second server in house B for homeassistant.

Is there a way I can use server B to remotely connect to server A to access JF and Immich and stream it via HDMI a TV in house B ?

Thank you in advance

If it is in two different houses, why would you use a NAS as a client for jellyfin ? You'd better connect an android TV box like an nvidia shield and connect to the jellyfin.

Of course, the jellyfin instance should be accessible over the internet, either by setting up a reverse proxy or a VPN.

    You're right, this makes the most sense and with little headaches. I didn't go with it at first cause I didn't know there was an alternative to Amazon/Google/Xiaomi devices to access Android TV, so thank you for the Nvidia Shield recommendation, I'll check it out (and yes I know Android TV is Google, but it's for a very occasional use, so I'll give up a bit of privacy just for this)

    Personally, I just installed another launcher for my shield (projectivy launcher) so I don't have to deal with annoying advertising. You could also replace the stock OS with a foss android TV, but I haven't tried it myself so I can't tell you if it works well or not.
