I already sit on this 3 hours
- I want to setup media server. Host mp4 files which i can play with VLC over internet.
Server is Raspberry Pi 4B - client: phone with VLC
I have been trying with ftp, samba, nfs.
Only samba worked at least in local network.
by FTP and NFS i couldnt connect even by LAN.
on Samba even with changed ports - couldnt connect by internet.
SERVER IS HEADLESS - NO VIDEO OUTPUT.
I want media SERVER, not CENTER so Kodi wont do it.
Anyone got any tutorial/idea how to host this? I dont care how is this hosted - my requirements are to be played over internet and by vlc. I dont care about safety if someone can spy on what i am watching - only safety i need is that nobody takes over my Pi. Please help!
