  Host both. Keep plex up for your gma, Jellyfin for everyone else. Tbh Jellyfin is also pretty intuitive.

  The people asking why confuse me…y’all acting like jellyfin is easy to use on an off-site tv when it’s literally not for non tech savvy people. I don’t understand why jellyfin just doesn’t nut up and make an android tv client or something?

    My 67 year old Mother has been using Jellyfin for years via Chromecast. Change the TV input to Chromecast and pull up the Jellyfin app. And that’s it. She never leaves Jellyfin and the Chromecast is never shut off, even if the TV is.

    It’s amazing to me that you fanboys pretend like Plex is easy to use but Jellyfin is somehow not. It’s generally the exact same interface.

    I don’t understand why jellyfin just doesn’t nut up and make an samsung tv client or something?

    Because application development is expensive, and they’re open source–not funded by corporate interest like Plex. What exactly about that is difficult to understand?

  If your grandma can handle torrenting over VPN, then she can probably handle Jellyfin.

    Grandma probably doesn’t do the actually torrenting herself, chances are OP has an overseerr or jellyseerr type of setup, grandma makes the request and things just flow.

  I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

  Do what works for you and them.

  You can run them concurrently and let grandma continue to use plex.

  I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

  Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. But I digress.

    The irony of not wanting to use Plex and saying to use Tailscale to let you use jellyfin is just too good.
