Recently had a solid sun burn.
Had an enjoyable time peeling the skin of.

Literally the same can be said about Plex.

I was hoping to be proven wrong on the claim that jellyfin is insecure.

The constant argument being parotted (IMO a bit extra overblown) that you can read files by knowing the file path and being able to access the stream urls without authentication.

So if I know
/data/media/movie/A Super Secret Movie [2026] (not unlikely due to assumed default paths with docker installations)
and
https://jellyfin.example.local/
I can supposedly guess that the URL is https://jellyfin.example.local/video/source=?1029rifos0xomsoc93 and access the stream.

Is it an issue? Yes, you are bypassing active authentication
What is the actual security problem? You can be ddosed by being streames to death? Oh no, what will I do /s

If anyone else can give a more grave exampe why it’s worse than the above example: Please do. I don’t see the issue besides bypassing authentication.

Something something akariko something netgenx on google.

My stack is including dispatcharr for managing m3u streams (and fallback sources) and jellyfin to watch it.

You can’t throw shade on Jellyfin, leave plex out of the discussion and then claim to run neither and essentially not caring…
Why participate at all with this argument??

And plex is entirely secure?
What was it again with security and closed source vs OSS?

Is the plex relay for remote access really secure?
Or has just nobody bothered checking it?

My breaking point was to pay for transcoding.
Paid for the android app which allowed HWA but then I wanted to watch it on my chromecast TV. Welp gotta pay or bust.
So I bust, went through the early adopter pain (early 11th gen Intel Xe gpu, no actual knowledge of linux or docker, little experience with linux and docker) and set it up.
Working great since then.
Currently restreaming japanese IPTV with jellyfin via an m3u stream at work (and through a mobile VPN router)

Not the most stable stream but sufficient

For now

No. But of Bicycles.

Today I wrote an offer (1st time for that kind) for our customer and took about 30 minutes with all infos already know.
I cross checked the whole offer 3 times to be perfectly identical and all is fine.
God I hate myself for that. Meanwhile my (by time) junior colleague creates offers like it’s nothing and my (by time) senior creates >10k offers.
I feel rrally inferior at times due to that.
