Yes, if I was using it only for myself I could make Jellyfin work for me, but since I share my Plex server with about 50 family members and friends I still have to stick with Plex. It just has an app for pretty much every device that exists, which isn’t the case for Jellyfin. The clients are also much more user friendly so I don’t have to play tech support all the time because people can’t get the Jellyfin app working on their shitty 10 year old Samsung smart TV.

Maybe I need it give it another chance, but 3 months ago it was still hot garbage compared to plex

Yeah, I’m not gonna tell the 50 users of my plex server to set up wireguard on their devices so they can request movies and TV series on my overseer, when I can instead just use NPM to make it publically accessible with a password prompt

As if WordPress wasn’t insecure enough yet without using cracked plug-ins

Just because you can render a game using scripting doesn’t mean your script can escape the PDF reader.

You can build a fully working Turing machine inside PowerPoint, but without an exploit you are still not going to run code outside the PowerPoint environment

There already exist wireless doorbells and smart home light switches that harness the energy of clicking the button using a piezo crystal to use for transmitting the signal. But at least the one I have has way too much resistance to use for a computer keyboard

Calling it a car may be an exaggeration

The cables of HPCs are liquid cooled. Replacing them is not trivial

OK, but it’s edge-lit and extremely tiny. You can get much better Smart TVs for less money, and then just never connect it to the internet

I mean, it is true, but, who said otherwise?

OP in the title of the post

Ironically sideloading is pretty easy on iOS nowadays

What’s locked down about it? You can run unsigned code out of the box, no jailbreak required like on iOS

FYI “to each their own” was a phrase used on the entrance of a nazi concentration camp, same as “work sets you free”. Might wanna avoid that phrase in the future

No, that would just require the permisson for the Epic Store to install APKs to be granted out of the box, no need for it to be a system app for that

That might be the reason, because I have my entire library downloaded and never run into this “bug”

Not having a static IP is not a problem at all.

CGNAT would be a much bigger problem, although also one that can be dealt with

Yes, but the OP went 3 months without it and then messed up during setup

About a third of it is friends of mine, the rest is family and extended family

I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all

Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin?

What would be wrong with that?
