There are solutions though…

Solution for what? This thread is talking about basic auth breaking jellyfin.

Adding an auth layer IN jellyfin will not fix the unauthed endpoints. We’re talking about adding an auth layer BEFORE jellyfin here.

they won’t see any difference !

They also won’t know how to use it… how to debug it when it inevitably goes down… etc.

A plus could be to even add your own dns+pihole onto their network and block some of those nasty ads :) !

Yay! more support!
