yes, they have a centralized login system. It’s my biggest issue with plex and why i am experimenting with switching to jellyfin.

I've been running Jellyfin since around it's inception - highly recommend! Not quite as feature heavy as Plex yet, but an excellent community.

Do you also have experience with Emby? Not sure yet on what to choose. Guess I'm going to try them both.

No, not with emby directly - but Jellyfin is a fork of emby, so tangentially!

And that really bugs.
I keep all my media sorted in folders (old school I know). I went to try Plex once a few years back. It launched right into making an account and setting up remote access. Never was clear what if any access Plex mothership has to my media library- does that include filenames, file contents, everything? Sorry but do not want. I VPN back home, don't need the cloud BS.
