Jellyfin is 100% free and open-source, it may miss some features but nothing behind a paywall. We made the choice of open-source over features (I can understand people going with plex, but I’m happy with jf)

Right. I understand now, I’ve not used Netflix in 7 years. Yeah you have the user login screen before entering the password. I guess there’s a workaround by autodeleting cookies but you’d have to re-enter the password (and it’s not doable easily by grandma)

You have a login screen with all users showing with their profile picture. For a while now. You can even make it look Netflix-like with Skin Manager plugin. And there’s Quick Connect but it’s for people already connected on another device.

Maybe for troubleshooting? Like they say for Gluetun part, and Prowlarr indexers needing more configurations. I think it’s recommended to use a vpn in most countries.

Every first Friday of the month if I’m not mistaken.
