Why can’t your parents just login to JellyFin and browse from their profile? I don’t really see what extra work would be required on their end?

Does Jellyfin have you open the app, type in a 4 character code, and then just work? I'm assuming it doesn't. So that is why.

If Jellyfin requires any more effort than that - EVEN if it's simply entering a username and password with a TV remote, that is extra work.

It’s a 6 digit code.

But I’ve never used it so it may be more complicated to setup? Worth looking into for sure.

Ah, thanks. I've been considering installing it on my Plex server so I can evaluate it but I have no issues with Plex whatsoever. But yes them getting bigger means more chances for things to get bad.
