A login-free media portal in front of Jellyfin
The question
Can a household watch its own library with no accounts at all, while the media server's key never leaves the server?

This work crosses media streaming, self-hosting, API design.
The family media library without the family having to remember passwords. The backend-for-frontend proxies the few Jellyfin endpoints the UI needs and never exposes the key. Continue-watching, collections, and live TV, on any screen in the house.
