    Me wondering how many security issues the completely proprietary Plex has that they won’t tell us about.

      Honestly this is something that needs to talked about more. I frequently see people roasting on foss but in reality the proprietary vendors have all sorts of dumb security issues.

        The difference being, that the Plex devs weren’t confronted with a list of security issues and basically shrugged and dragged their feet for 5 years

          How do you know that? Development happens behind closed doors.

          The Jellyfin devs are “dragging their feet” because they do not want to break existing clients.

      Fair concern… But I can tell you unauthenticated endpoints aren’t one. I haven’t tested any others personally.

          Just the same that we don’t know if the jellyfin ones don’t have further issues that people just haven’t found yet. What’s your point? One is known for 4+ years now and is a wontfix… the other is unknown and no evidence to suggest otherwise.
