    I tried Jelly Fin last month based on a thread here and it was a damned dumpster fire. As bad a Plex is for remote streaming, JF is far worse for the average person.

      In what way? I share my server with 8 friends/family and it does everything I need it to.

        Unable to set up a working server for outside of the home network. Also, the UI is terrible and didn’t organize things well.

          Setting up remote access is the same for Plex and Jellyfin so I’m confused. All you need to do is to forward port 8096 or use a reverse proxy like nginx if you want a domain.

          I have plex.domain.com and jellyfin.domain.com and it was the exact same process for both.
