Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Ease of use for my users across multiple platforms with minimal tech knowledge on their end. I'm sharing my library with ranges from 12yo to 70. I need it to "just work" and it does that perfectly.

    Couldn't upvote this harder. Tried Jellyfin for 5 mins and was super confused why I couldn't find sharing options. After googling and reading about reverse proxies and buying domains and shit I said fuck it and uninstalled

    I never fully understood this argument as you would have to do that anyways with plex unless you're using their proxy which would just artificially rate limit all of your users. But I do realize that jellyfin doesn't have an email invite system in place which really is my biggest issue

    What's the "that" that you'd have to do anyway with Plex? I had to do nothing of the sort. I asky friends and family to make a Plex account and ask what email address they used. Then I give that email access to my library
