When I looked into Jellyfin last year, the main problems were:
- Can't connect to people's existing Plex servers.
- Can't just invite someone without storing their password on my server. No support for (e.g.) OAuth2.

Is the opposite true, can the plex client connect to jellyfin? Plex and Jellyfin are competitive, why is there some implied compatibility?
- p1mrx 4y agoI'm not shocked, I was highlighting that Plex has network effects that make switching more difficult.

Why would you think that jellyfin not connecting to plex is a problem?
