Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS encrypted service. I don't have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).
at least it doesnt try to sell me a 12 pack of toilet seats like amazon.
fair. sorry for being a bit snippy.
did you know there are these things called search engines that let you type in literally anything and it will search the entire internet for you?
lmfao the cops charged him for not having a valid boat registration or life vests. amazing.
NOINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS?
I'm not gonna listen to a PSA about a country that offers thongs and bottled water out of the same vending machine!
note for my fellow americans: thongs = flip flops.
Because if I'm watching locally I dont need them, and if I'm watching remotely Plex already offers secure remote viewing 'out of the box`. They give every user an SSL certificate and a public accessible URL at app.plex.tv. They also handle secure user authentication. The new price is stupid, but Jellyfin is not a 1:1 replacement.
A gentle reminder that Jellyin more or less requires you to set up a reverse proxy and a secure VPN to use it outside of your home.
oh damn that took me a hot minute to figure out, thanks for letting me know it was a pun.
The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.
