I don't understand what this does. It says it "broadcasts media content retrieved from web pages".

What does broadcast mean? Like what if the media is a PDF or a PNG? Is it a static file proxy server?



I hope your sitting down as this might come as a bit of a shock but lots of live content is streamed via "web pages", like sports for example.


I'm aware of that. This would make a little more sense if it was specifically about video, or maybe audio. Is... that what it is?


It says "Grabs the broadcast stream", I think it's suggesting using Jellyfin as a redistribution node for a piece of licenced content (sports games, films etc)
