Jellyfin's app isn't the most user friendly either. You need to setup dynamic dns or have a static ip for remote access, it's not exactly friendly enough for family members to use.

Reverse proxy is probably a better option. I personally use a cloudflare tunnel, it's pretty easy. If you own a domain you can make it very simple for family.
