I haven’t watched something with ads in it for many years.
Y’all know how.
Only time is when I stay in hotels and watch their cable. It’s so weird and insulting after freeing myself from them for so long. It breaks up the pace and basically ruins the entire experience.
Maybe look into getting a GL.inet travel router with WiFi and a Chromecast/Android stick. I use that when I travel. Setup a WiFi network on the travel router and setup the Chromecast on it for when you’re at the hotel.
At the hotel, either jack the travel router into a network port then use your phone to sign in to the hotel’s network, or configure Repeater/WISP to get the travel router to connect to and re-broadcast the hotel WiFi (again using your phone or PC to sign in). Going Repeater/WISP brings a sizeable performance hit due to the lack of radios but it’s definitely do-able.
If you’re hosting Jellyfin externally, job done. If not, you can configure OpenVPN/Wireguard on the travel router and your home router and connect privately that way.
