Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years
matron1049@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month agoThere are a ton of reverse proxy options that manage the cert for you
The point is that you now have another app to manage or learn about just for remote viewing, and the general public can’t and won’t manage something like that. People like us, no problem, its easy, but my dad would never be able to, for example. He can install plex and just log in to an app anywhere to use it though.
Also, dont forget that many households have non-static IP addresses, so now you need more management for that issue (again, easy for us).
In this scenario, your dad just installs Jellyfin and logs in.
You’ve set up the reverse proxy to your server, its transparent to him.
You can update DNS records automatically so its also a fire and forget kind of thing.
But I guess, give your data to the corpos because its easier.
No, im talking about him running his own server. Not connecting to mine.
You do then still have to expose JF to the open internet. That’s not without risk. Neither is Plex but they do make it a point to secure all their endpoints before login.

There’s lots of reasons I don’t want to set this up

But Jellyfin! It solves all your problems, you don’t have to pay for it (because fuck paying for software of any type even if it provides you some value), and did I mention Jellyfin‽
Why aren’t you using it yet? Are you a plex sympathizer? Get outta here with that!
What?
I don’t care if you have a good use case for using plex / Emby / Kodi / VLC / WMC / etc; you will assimilate and use Jellyifn!
JELLYFIN!!!11!1!1!1!1!. /s

Jellyfin once located my lost puppy. Which Plex had stolen.

I believe it! Emby probably kicked the dog whole plex stole it.

This is like the 3rd thread I’ve seen you have a complete meltdown when someone mentions Jellyfin.

I just wish they’d fucking take their security seriously and we could wipe plex out.

Me too. But they also need a lot more features.
Like Tautulli and Plexamp.
