Nice, has anyone used this as a daily driver? How does SailfishOS perform? Do the Android Apps truly work?

Who’s a good girl?

Its also possible for a webserver to offer two versions of an API. Add a new one that needs authentication, mark the old one as deprecated and add a checkbox to disable it. Then clients can update to use the secure one and if you use and unmaintained client you can enable the old insecure api

And you think if Jellyfin were a comparable size, there wouldn’t be just as many or more?

If You want to use remote streaming after this, without paying, you do. Did you even red the article or are you just here to Stan for Jellyfin?

In the sense, that you need a VPN for both

You CAN, but you really shouldn’t. Even the documentation says as much. The Jellyfin server is way to insecure to expose it to the open internet. In reality you can’t safely use Jellyfin remotely without a vpn

Great, so the free Plex now was downgraded to feature parity with Jellyfin

Which is not what Plex is doing. There’s no change for paid users.

Wow, could you get any more condescending? We bought a product (10+ years ago in my case) and it still works great. Why would I switch to an inferior service, just because the FREE version of the product I already bought got worse?

This has no impact on anyone that actually paid for Plex.

With this move the free version of Plex got downgraded, to now have feature parity with Jellyfin. Meaning a VPN is required if you want to access your media on the go

There are ways to fix these issues while preserving legacy client support. And honestly I don’t see how changing their database mess would help in solving security issues. In the end they’ll have to change their API to a more secure one, which will definitely disrupt client support for future updates

The main issue there isn’t the fact that these issues exist. The problem is the Jellyfin devs attitude towards them, most of these problems have been known for years (more than five in some cases) but are largely ignored. Client compatibility is valued over everything else.

There have been plenty of suggestions, ideas and even PRs, but the devs priorities don’t allow for any security centered patches to get merged

Beside the various security holes that have been ignored for years by the devs?

As open as the servers “security”

basically protection racket

Yeah, would be nice if there actually was someone looking out for you…

Still pissed that doesn’t work. Restrict it to parking mode if You want, but I should be able to use that screen when I’m on a ferry or just waiting for something

I really hope its Sony. Maybe it will even be available for my 1VI…

My dog is a 13 years old couch potato. He gets angry when I try to get him outside while its still dark :D
