what? It’s not like everyone needs to run jeyfin at home. the oy thing you need to use is the jeyfin webapp, which I don’t understand how is it more complicated than netflix or any other similar service. you log in, pick a movie and hit play. that’s it.
Have you set up jellyfish at your home, given access to a friend outside of you network who could not setup Jellyfin themselves, and successfully got them playing on their TV, table tablet, and/or phone? Have you been able to set them up without them having to call you every week?
If you have used Plex and jellyfin then you know that configuring the two are wildly different beasts. Setting it up within your own home network just for yourself? The gap is a little bit smaller. Anything beyond that becomes a much biggerdeal.
Yes. It’s very easy. It might not have used to be easy but it is for the last couple of years. Dead simple. About a dozen people use my Jellyfin server across TV’s, phones, tablets, laptops. None of them are what I would call techies. It’s as simple for them as Netflix.
If you have not set up a VPN for accessing your Jellyfin, I would suggest looking into the myriad of security issues the Jellyfin Backend has. Jellyfin has no business being accessible from the public internet
