I've got Jellyfin running through my Hetzner VPS via Tailscale from a crappy spec 2014 Mac mini, and I'm a fucking idiot.
Fuck Plex.

One question, lets say that I bought this subscription. What kind of advantages has it, does it cache your media? Or if you have multiple users, you still need to be able to upload media to miltiple users?

We need a support group for the whiners.
It's been dirt cheap and you still don't have to do it.
At the end of the day the core of the software is free. They still have to support and develop the clients and services.... Go shit on emby or the other one for how unfriendly they are to deal with.

Jesus fuck.
Time to learn how to safely expose Jellyfin, I guess.
Best I've done so far is crowdsec + pangolin geoblocking to just my country. I cant install tailscale subnet routers at all my friends to get their TVs to work. Non starter.
