About

This is a self-hosting Alexa skill to play media from your Jellyfin server. Besides simple playback, other additional functions like playback of playlists or managing favorites are included. The skill and the Jellyfin player can be used behind a NAT or firewall without port opening/forwarding. Since the skill and also the Jellyfin server must be reachable from the outside, in this case the two services are exposed with a tunnel.
