Does jellyfin have an easy way for remote streaming? I have a couple dozen people on my Plex server, most not very tech savvy, so setting up tailscale and running remote that way isn’t an option. I have a Plex pass so I haven’t been screwed by Plex yet, so I’m not rushing to get out, but I could see myself running both.

no, tailscale is still the easiest option.

Bummer… unfortunately, that’s a deal breaker for me to completely drop Plex. Maybe someday.

Tailscale. You don’t even need it on the client device, you can get a gl.inet travel router that’ll do the work.

I’m not going to all of my friends and families houses and swapping out their routers wtf

I swear every single Plex related thread has the same Jellyfin fanatics coming in. Same energy as “my MIL has trouble with her computer” “just install Linux bro!” comments.

Still better than the army of Plex fanboys that all claim to have dozens of senior citizens streaming from their Plex server.

I don’t have dozens, but I have 3. Those three are close family members. Do you think people don’t invite their parents or inlaws to their Plex server?

Clearly people do, but I think they represent a vocal minority of Plex’s overall userbase. The expectation that a free project with no revenue stream should provide an ongoing service that’s going to cost them money and seems to be what Plex is using to squeeze its users always strikes me as disingenuous. There are ways to enable remote access with Jellyfin, but you have to do it yourself because nobody’s paying them to run those servers.
