One thing I found that helps for sharing an IPTV stream on Discord is to use OBS as an intermediary.
Instead of sharing the IPTV window directly into Discord, I capture the IPTV window in OBS to send the output of that as a virtual webcam stream, which I then share to Discord.
That seems to help with the framerate.
How easy is this to do?
It takes maaaybe another 5-10 mins to set up, its very easy.
Extra points if you pay for Nitro to bump up the stream quality.
Jellyfin has Watch Groups that my (tech-challenged) family uses regularly without my help.
I just added IPTV to my setup, so I haven't tested if they work together. I can't see why they wouldn't. Worse case, have then tune into the same channel as you, it should sync up almost perfectly on its own.
Do I set up a server?
Yeah, you'll need to spin up a Jellyfin server. It's really easy in docker though, and it shouldn't need a machine too powerful. I've heard of people running it on an rPi4 or old laptops.
I run mine on a midrange Intel NUC, and it's worked awesome so far.
