      I share Plex with friends

      Here, friend. Plex will send you an invite, use it on whatever device you have because it probably supports Plex

      I share jellyfin with friends

      Now download this app, no that one…no this one. Why does this one not work . What do you mean it doesn’t exist. Now you need my help getting you going…

      Sorry, Jellyfin is great if tech people but I run a Plex server so I don’t HAVE to help anyone anymore.

        Hey friend,
        the domain is: https://jellyfin.domain.com

        Your credentials are:
        Username: Friend
        Pw: ***********

        To watch search “Jellyfin” on the playstore or visit this link:
        Link to playstore
        Link to Windows JMP

        Have fun.

        Sorry but those are at best comfortable excuses of moving dependencies to another platform.

        At most you’d need to train them on how to the same as before.

        The only issue I’d seen so far were playback issues with non-standard encodings (audio codecs for example) and playback devices unable to work with whats reported…
        But this is one of the rare uglies I have seen so far.
