You just can’t securely watch anything from your jellyfin server remotely, or let others stream from your server.
The 20+ people who stream from my Plex server have never paid a cent because I have a Plex lifetime pass. In terms of value it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
You absolutely can watch from Jellyfin remotely and securly, but it does take a little setup of infrastructure. I will say Plex did a very good job at making that piece super easy and pretty much just a ‘flip a switch’ action to setup.
Yeah but any authentication I cannot control, is to me, not that secure. I can’t even log into my Plex setup from work because even though it is hosted at my home, it requires a connection to Plex’s infrastructure for login and I haven’t been able to find any OIDC options to use my own IdP. I’m definitely in the minority of their users for wanting to be able to use my own personal authentication.
