I would love to switch but there’s two things stopping me: Less support (if any?) for multi-users and remote access, and less app support especially when transcoding is needed. Also would be nice to not lose Overseerr when switching, I’m sure there’s a fork of that though.
And while there is less app support in terms of clients the transcoding is actually better. It doesn’t need a Plex Pass for hardware transcoding and it has way more options. You can do things like encode in H.265 (if the client supports it) and fine tune the tonemapping for HDR.
Can I make an account for someone without knowing their password?
Last I tried, literally the only way to create a user was to enter a password. Without something like an email or link to create an account remotely, it’s a non-starter for me.

Putting Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and making multiple users are both well supported features.
And wait until you hear about Jellyseer!
I suppose it might be time to try! Last I tried Jellyfin, multiuser wasn’t really a thing.

That must have been a long time ago. They have had it for ages!
