    That means it can’t be shared (easily) with others. That’s the appeal of Plex and the reason why switching entirely to Jellyfin is not an easy thing to do.

        So all the people who want to use your Jellyfin server have to deal with a VPN first?

        That’s my point. Plex was easily accessible for friends and family with minimal setup. Jellyfin requires a bit more knowledge.

          You’re making it sound like I’m making my users walk a mile on burning coals! Yes, I do expect them to be able to be able to tie their shoelaces, install an application and scan a QR code. It’s not like they’re not getting anything in return for such “trouble”. ;)
