    Well plex can’t be run without it pinging the mother ship…

    But I get your point. I don’t open shit up for remote use.

      Which is exactly why I never installed Plex and went straight to Jellyfin

          Was on the fence for a long time, and I made the move just recently (after the pricing changes. Didn’t effect me since I was grandfathered in, but I saw it as a harbinger for worse things to come) With the creation of Wizarr, it solved my biggest problems with Jellyfin. I can just send an invite link, and it creates accounts for people on Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, and Kavita, and lets me set up introductory guides for everything. Despite the menu UI/UX being significantly worse than Plex, playback is smoother, load times are shorter, and it can actually handle streaming to really slow internet speeds, something that Plex had a lot of trouble with.

          The only app I noticed missing was the Tizen app, but they are working on getting it approved. I only had one family member using a Tizen TV, so I just gave them an old chromecast to run off of instead.
