If you’re using Plex for porn and also adding friends on it, what were you thinking in the first place? Like, it was so obvious something like this was going to happen, and that’s besides the already existant risk of accidentally sharing the wrong library with your friend.

It’s a cool feature, it obviously would have been better if it filtered by age rating or adult film by default to begin with but I really see this as an overreaction.

Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime

Like the old joke goes, “when I’m watching anime and my mom walks in, I alt tab to porn because it’s easier to explain”

It’s called hentai, and it’s art.

I did Jellyfin right when I got into this as soon as I saw Plex require an external account.

What sucks to me is how hard jellyfin is to setup outside the network

Huh? You need an open port and a TLS certificate, that’s about it. If you’re CG-NATed you need some form of proxy in front, but that’s not Jellyfin’s fault.
