Your complaining that the free stuff isn’t as good as the paid?

No, I’m complaining about people who act like Jellyfin is a drop in replacement while ignoring everything that would make it harder to user than Plex. I like Jellyfin and I would like nothing better than to have it as my disposal should POlex actually turn evil one day. But the current state is just not feasible if you want a seamless transition.
I live in a country with a very active and litigious copyright lawyer scene, so I will not take the risk of my server exposing the contents of my library, even if that is a minor risk.
When I can run Jellyfin and expose it through a subdomain, I will. But the devs have made it clear that that won’t be anytime soon, since they would rather have an insecure app than break compatibility with clients
