oh that is awesome! I guess I’d still have to manually input a (dynamic) IP for anyone outside of my local, but that is an awesome work around to know, thanks!

This is why I’m not quite ready for Jellyfin as a main platform. It’s pretty good, but I’m still getting a handle on how this all works.

I’ve played with it a bit, and am in the middle of upgrading my setup and will probably run both in parallel. My biggest issue with Jellyfin is the app UI is just miles behind Plex right now. I have a fair amount of people that use my server, and there is no way I could get them to use a Jellyfin client. That and, while I kinda mostly know what I’m doing, heavy emphasis on “kinda”.

But I rally like Jellyfin in concept, and I’m excited to have some proper dedicated hardware to get to know it better!

Agreed, BUT: I am really concerned about how much data Plex has, especially with their push to go legit. I set up a pi-hole and plex sends out a good amount of analytics. They know what you’re watching, which means it’s possible they’d have to share that information.

Also, if plex goes down so does your server. I love plex but if any of the 100% self hosted stuff catches up I’m absolutely jumping ship.

I didn’t know you could do this… shit there goes a bunch more hours of my life…
