>But the sore point right now is outside access, which Jellyfin really isn't made for. I set up Tailscale so I can connect Infuse to Jellyfin remotely. But that's not exactly as smooth as Plex. I can't give friends and family access, either, which was dead easy with Plex. I'm confused about this bit. I installed jellyfin to provide outside access to me and my family/friends. It wasn't difficult to make it available on the 'net, setting up new users is pretty simple and jellyfin has clients (both first and third party) for most platforms. In fact, I went from never having used jellyfin to giving external access to friends/family within a few hours. I'm sure I'm missing something, so if you wouldn't mind, I'd be very interested to hear your experience.

I don't believe in Jellyfin being secure enough to put on the public Internet. In my case, Jellyfin is on my home network, and the box has access to a lot of files and devices.

IME, Jellyfin and (just as importantly -- at least for me) the distribution (Fedora) I use have been very good at patching/releasing updates to both the clients and servers when vulnerabilities are found. Initially, I stuffed jellyfin (and a bunch of other stuff) behind HAProxy[0], which was fine. Now I don't even bother. It's been at least three years since I put up my jellyfin server and haven't had any issues at all. All that said, I understand your trepidation and am glad you found something that works for you!
