    You can use your phone to login to Jellyfin these days and depending on the TV and app you can have a profile switcher. You can also make a passwordless account. Which would be fine if you used some other form of authentication.

      Right but afaik there isn’t a way to do that other authentication in the TV apps. That’s where I’m stuck and why I haven’t bothered to set it up again. I was looking into this because of the Plex thing and it seems like it’s still a pain in the ass on TV apps. All the other authentication methods require a web browser if I’m not mistaken.

        What’s the issue with using your phone logged into your account to authenticate on the TC?

          I guess I’ll have to try it out again and see what it’s like. My main concern is my mom and sisters having a hard time using it. Plex is easy for them and I don’t want to make it more difficult because I’m getting fussy about Plex lol.

            Well fair, you can install both at the same time. I installed Plex again earlier today and it was wat easier this time.
