    Making an account is what allows the easy library sharing and remote streaming, something that Plex is significantly better than JellyFin at.

    What transcoding options does it have that Plex doesn’t?

      How is Plex significantly better than Jellyfin at those things? I can just create a user in 2 seconds on the admin dashboard for Jellyfin, set a temporary password and my friend can log in and change it to whatever they want.

      I can even limit the streaming bitrate to the account if I need to avoid bandwidth issues.
