For reasons that aren’t important, I have two separate servers (in different geographic locations), and from what I can see, the only way to switch from one to the other is through the sidebar by selecting the server. This is quite inconvenient.

Until now, I was using Plex, and there, once you register both servers in the client you’re using, it displays all the libraries from both servers. The user doesn’t even need to know where each thing is located, as they are combined seamlessly, almost as if they were separate libraries on the same server. I hope that makes sense.

Is it possible to do something similar in Jellyfin? Thank you.

Is there a reason that the libraries from both servers cannot be included together under a single server?

Because they are being executed by different machines in different places without connection between the storage, one is a Synology NAS and the other a home assistant container in a Raspberry Pi, if you know how to connect the storage of those two systems in a stable and reasonably simple way it would be great too

SSHFS is pretty simple to use.

Just mount the media directory of the PI as a directory on the NAS. Then the Jellyfin instance on the NAS basically treats it as a local directory.

I've done it with Plex in the past, no reason it wouldn't also work for Jellyfin
