Have you considered Jellyfin?

Was tied up with something for a few days, but have just now installed Tailscale (for those using it on Android, in case you also use a Private DNS setting, be aware that there's a problem - follow the point made here). Will report back here on how my battery performs...

And your experience with the Android client and battery usage has been good?

That sounds good! Any quick instructions for that? I couldn't figure it out earlier and zerotier/tailscale seemed a lot easier.

Apparently tailscale has the same problem? https://www.reddit.com/r/Tailscale/comments/13y09bp/extreme_battery_drain_on_android/ but there is a reference to switching off DNS which i don't really follow

ZeroTier alternatives, or client alternatives for Android,that don't use so much battery? (alien.top)
 

I am using ZeroTier's free tier to connect my computer, a Raspberry Pi and my phone, and I am loving it. But I have run into one seemingly insurmountable problem. The ZeroTier client on Android seems to be quite a battery hog. As a result I have to keep it switched off most of the time, and manually remember to switch it on now and then so sync'ing etc. will happen.

​

Are there any alternatives to ZeroTier, or to the ZeroTier client, that might use less battery on Android?
