      A VPS with a reverse proxy connected to your tailnet and a dyndns domain. It would be cheaper than Plex premium, you can use the vps for other stuff, and you have 100% certainty it will never ever show ads.

      Step one: get your in-laws a cheap Apple TV from whatever site you use for used electronics. Or even a new one.

        Roku is also a thing in Europe.

        Though I also gave up trying to set up Tailscale for people and just exposed Jellyfin (behind a reverse proxy).
