Got my Jellyfin up and running, using Tailscale, all that good stuff. Running on a linux (arch btw) desktop, downloaded it straight to it, not using Docker. I am able to get into Jellyfin via browser on desktop and on phone, but can't get into it on anything else anywhere else. How do I resolve this? I have been trying to pour over the reading and feel like I'm missing something.

It does, I'm just trying to figure out how to be able to access my Jellyfin anywhere at any time on any device without risking security. I'm a newbie, just trying to make sense of this.

If this is just a local network, you don't need Tailscale. Right place and time, and this is not a use for it.

If you just want a VPN to attach to your network from out in the world, get Tailscale on your router, and set routes for that device.

If you're not sure what this means, don't use Tailscale.

Your Roku should be trying to connect to the internal IP:8096 (Jellyfin port) of your arch device, not whatever your tailscale address is. I don't personally use tailscale so if your setup blocks local access then you may need to solve that first

Not sure who downvoted lol but here's proof

Hiding your private IP is not necessary.

YA can never be too careful, you might be inside my network at this very moment and hiding the internal IP is my last line of defense! 😆

Assuming it didn't get cut off, it looks like you have a typo. That should be http:// not ttp://. That would cause your trouble on the Roku.

That's not the problem...
