Most TVs don't have web browsers lol. And again - without a VPN you can't just stream it through a web browser.

Remote access is the single area where Plex is better.

Saying things like this is laughable. JellyFin is basically temu plex, better at pretty much nothing other than being open source. At best it matches it in some ways, at worst it is significantly worse and lacking features.

Everything about Jellyfin is free. This includes hardware transcoding, which is subscription based on Plex.

If the server owner has a lifetime pass, theres no subscription fee needed by anyone. Hardware transcoding on Plex is also significantly better than on JellyFin.

The Jellyfin apps are also much better than they used to be.

But still trash compared to plex.

To me, it seems like a really hard sell when Jellyfin effectively does everything that the paid service does for free.

Again, apart from easy and secure remote streaming.

No, the argument for plex is that it's easy and widely supported. It has an app on every device in existence, and a new user can be streaming from a friends server remotely within minutes of asking for access, with no VPN or IP whitelisting or any other workaround required. Secure, fast, easy.

Nobody has EARNT a billion dollars ever

Classic communist thinking.

You can live in fear of your made up scenarios like this, but I'm just going to continue using Plex with my lifetime license.

Again with the pathetic non-answer.

Keep going though, calling everyone calling for common sense a racist is working well for you. Support for One Nation is at an all time low.

Wait, did I say low? I meant high. All time high.

You coming in and talking about XBMC/Kodi has absolutely nothing to do with the differences between Plex and JellyFin. No one cares if Kodi can do remote streaming safely because that doesn't mean JellyFin can lol.

It's a video of a guy being caught jacking off in the women's toilets.

As someone with family members in academia, I know first hand how 99% of studies are a joke. They're generally "pay to get the result you ask for", and "my thesis is true because I've just excluded all the data that proves it's false".

Plex remote streaming is secure by the very nature of how it does it.....

Tailscale has native clients for all the major TV OS’.

No it doesn't lol. Only the extreme minority of people are using TVs that can even install apps.

At least I know the potential attack vectors for my Jellyfin server and can mitigate potential security concerns.

Yet on plex there aren't any lol. If you're opening your server to the internet, and giving other people access, it's not secure - especially via software like JellyFin where the devs even know and say it's not secure.

Why are you having to prove you're the owner of it exactly? What you're describing is "user error".

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 1 month ago

No, plex has many price points, including a free one.
