Is it more intuitive to set up for remote streaming to friends…? That’s the use case here and as far as I know the answer is a big “no”.
I got Jellyfin set up and available for streaming in less than two hours. Plex kept demanding that my friend buy a pass to download something, so I was like, nah. Jellyfin works flawlessly and is (in my opinion) a far superior option. I constantly had issues with Plex.
If you have a static IP it’s super easy. If you don’t, it’s less easy, but you should configure Plex the same way if you don’t want to use their proxy, which lowers the speed anyway.

Vs “just install Plex on any NAS from its built in appstore” that’s like 42 steps too many for the regular user.
pretty easy with tailscale
Lol
Edit: honestly, I could start itemizing why this person’s response is terrible, but all it feels like it deserves is “lol”.
well hello Mr. cranky 😅
