Nobody ever invited me to login to their jellyfin

In my experience, all it takes is one instance where a stream buffers or needs to transcode down to a lower quality. There are a lot of variables between your home server and someone else’s smart tv or set top box. Streaming services are really good at accounting for most of that and making it work reliably. I am sure most of our media servers are way less reliable, especially outside the home.
I have a friend group that loves dumb American shows playing as background noise, think My Big Fat Gypsies Wedding and Swamp People. It’s hard to easily find all the seasons for them, so my jellyfin instance is a perfect place for them to live 😄
Don’t spy on your users. Sure, you’ll happen to see something once in awhile or when troubleshooting, but don’t go looking. It’s bad for you and for them.
Its not that insane or creepy tho, ppl do it all the tome when sharing streaming profiles
I agree that’s looking for conflict
I mostly check if my SIL is watching anything before rebooting & updating. Otherwise my wife will stick her head in two minutes later to ask if jellyfin is down.
Watching what my friends and family do is THE ONLY payment I get for doing all this shit. I like to see that they are enjoying all the work I put into it. Its not like I am selling their usage to fucking advertisers or something.
I also provide this type of thing for friends and family for free (because I love them), and because payment would make me feel obligated beyond what I feel like doing. It sounds like you’ve made them aware, which is good. I also tell my friends that I can see what they watch, but that I don’t. You do you, but your meme suggested something unhealthy to me.
I can’t get any of my friends to use my jellyfin instance. They login once, look around, and then go back to complaining about streaming prices
when they watch an entire movie in 2mbit 720p from a 4K HDR source and you know they have a proper TV and a shield pro.
Nah. Friend was doing some “Plex and Chill” and it worked out well for them.
Plex and ChillJellyfin and Impregnate
I hope I have never done this to anyone 🥺
My son is an avid watcher of my jellyfin, and that’s more than enough for me to feel it’s worth all the effort I’ve put in it. He even asks me sometimes to add this show or that movie and I freaking love it.
Uh, I do not look at what my users are watching. Is a little creepy.
I disclose that I can see your activity, bit realistically it’s so I can see how the encoding process is half a world away. They don’t seem to complain about the quality so seems good to go for me.
Also I wish they sent me notes of which shows has offset subtitles. Can’t watch them all myself
