Don’t spy on your users. Sure, you’ll happen to see something once in awhile or when troubleshooting, but don’t go looking. It’s bad for you and for them.
I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I stopped using my friend’s server when I realized he was watching everything we were doing. Really weirded me out.
That’s the tricky part about self-hosting and it doesn’t get addressed enough. There are virtually zero apps designed with user privacy in mind.
Its not that insane or creepy tho, ppl do it all the tome when sharing streaming profiles

In my experience, all it takes is one instance where a stream buffers or needs to transcode down to a lower quality. There are a lot of variables between your home server and someone else’s smart tv or set top box. Streaming services are really good at accounting for most of that and making it work reliably. I am sure most of our media servers are way less reliable, especially outside the home.
Uh, I do not look at what my users are watching. Is a little creepy.
Nobody ever invited me to login to their jellyfin
Tbh I generally take 3 goes to make it through a movie. My brain is so fried I can’t sit and watch it in one sitting.
