Excited to see the Jellyfin UX improving - it’s probably the biggest reason I use Plex over Jellyfin (not that Plex is THAT much better…)
I prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.
There’s a server federation feature request currently marked as planned, so some form of that is probably coming at some point!
This would be huge, one of the biggest draws to Plex for me is being able to use a single account to watch content across all my friends servers from any Plex UI (be it the hosted one at app.plex.tv or the copy hosted with each Plex server)
Whoa, super cool! I would love this
I am in the same boat, once Jellyfin makes it easier to share I will jump over.
Problem is you’re giving Plex access to everything in your library as well, which isn’t exactly palatable
People managing their own users is super nice too. Easy self service password resets without me having to do it for them.
I like plex better but damn is it bloated, had to take a almost an hour digging through settings to turn all those plex features off. Now it feels more back to basics.
I hadn’t run across this before. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this! I discovered some good stuff from here…
