Imagine downvoting “Be careful what you expose to the internet”. I thought I’d got away from Reddit.

Well this thread is an absolute shitshow.

Jellyfin is great, but if you refuse to let yourself understand that Plex’s ease of setup for remote access is a point in its favour - especially when sharing with non-tech savvy people - then you’re just as bad as the supposed “Plex shills”.

Plex is well on the enshittification train, and I’ve always been a bit concerned about how private it may or may not be, but there’s absolutely no way I’d have been able to share a Jellyfin instance with my grandfather, especially as his dementia got worse.

If you have a 3D printer that can’t connect to the internet, you could try Octoprint.

I really need to stop being lazy and swap to Jellyfin…
