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.
Extra points if you pay for Nitro to bump up the stream quality.
How easy is this to do?
It takes maaaybe another 5-10 mins to set up, its very easy.
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.
