People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

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

I set up tailscale on my jellyfin box and my family can use their phone to access the server by turning on tailscale (just open the app and toggle it on then open jellyfin) and cast to their Tv. Not as smooth as plex but works for us and the tailscale means its all encrypted.

    I use GeoIP restrictions on WAN and use a TLS offload on a load balancer in front. Problem is the older members in my family look at me weird when I give them a URL, username, and password. They just ask if they can use their Apple or Google account "like we do with Plex". So....for now Plex stays.
