I said easier, setting up a vpn for my family to be able to remotely access my media on their TV is no where near as easy as setting up a Plex server and sharing it that way

Port forwarding doesn't require VPN.

Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?

You shouldn't be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that's why.

Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.

Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.

Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.

VPN reduces streaming performance because of the encryption though

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

I am in a situation where I can't open up ports manually (or access my router at all) so it's definitely not manual

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

What paid plex subscription? For the record I'll probably look into that later but I have never once given plex money

Plex Pass https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/

But I was mistaken on which features were locked behind the paywall. They charge for hardware transcoding but it sounds like sharing doesn't require the subscription.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
