Basically from what I understand there’s loads of unauthenticated api calls, so someone can very easily exploit that.

Hang on, why not open the port to jellyfin to the internet?
I have a lifetime Plex pass so its not urgent but I have a containers running emby and jellyfin to check them out. When I decide which one I planned to open it up and give people logins.

The main unauthenticated action is video streaming, but an attacker would need to guess the correct id by chance.
It’s not chance if the I’d is based on the path to your media. There’s but that much variation in the path to a certain movie and its trivial to build a rainbow table to try them out. This way unauthenticated users can not only stream from your server but effectively map your library

That wouldn’t even be using TLS
Bad idea
