    “install this app on your tv and log in”, which is exactly what Plex does

    Yes, but that person has to create an account. Everyone has to create an account. With Plex. Some people I know immediately say no, others are annoyed that plex would try and shake them down for money.

    If you configure Jellyfin, all that goes away. THEN they can simply download the app and login.
