How so?
Yo dad, heres the login:

https://jellyfin.domain.tld/
If you (or a relative) can’t manage that, I’d be afraid to even let you handle a car or open a bank account.
Can’t imagine you relative doesnt also have to create a plex account somewhere to then be invited to the plex share or input the URL to request access.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

Same as my experience

Emby’s better than both, but jellyfin folks are probably going to crucify me for saying that.

jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.
Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

Yeah, I get it. I just prefer the polish.

Can’t say me remote entry isnt working. Was streamong it from my phone in the firefox and chrome browser while on the go and also from my work pc.
Can’t imagine how easier one wants it to be in comparison (it’s literally like navigating to Youtube).

Always funny how anyone is crucified for using Windows or (how dare you) paid and/or free proprietary software.
Yet when it comes to something like Plex they always backpedal and either state that they don’t have something like that or it’s so convenient.
If one goes on a (F)OSS crusade at least be consistent… >:(

As s someone with lifetime Emby premium, I switched to Jellyfin.

Why?

The UI for Jellyfin is horrendous.

I don’t get that. Both display content and seem very similar. Now does Jellyfin have problems yes.
