    All of you folks using Plex should check out Jellyfin, it may suit your needs better.

      Jellyfin is better for in home streaming, but I find plex easier for sharing external to family/friends.

          Because Plex has that feature built-in with little hassle and Jellyfin does not (for now)

            Couldnt you either use a reverse proxy or something like cloudflare tunnels to open external access and achieve literally the same as plex does?

              Yup. For the server admin, maybe 10 minutes of reading and another 10-20 for setup. For the users (if any), they just need to input an IP or URL along with logging in.

              And it doesn’t rely on external servers to connect like Plex does, which is always a bonus.
