stryan·Jun 10, 2021Recommendation phrase
Jellyfin supports "Watch parties" which I've used for movie nights in the past. It works well enough. But if you want this going real-time and continuously it sounds like you want more of an RTMP stream setup. I recommend MovieNight[0] but you can handle it natively in Nginx I think. Then it's just a matter of setting up OBS[1] or something similar to stream to it and you can do whatever you want. [0] https://github.com/zorchenhimer/MovieNight [1] https://obsproject.com/
