Nope. No subscription fee. Just the regular Jellyfin client. I run the server from my PC and watch on the client in my TV. All free.

Will try again. Though not having stupid simple friend sharing is still a dealbreaker for me

I tried it out while I was at a friends place (streaming remotely from two internet connections).
Even the sync play worked very well (the delay between pressing pause and it executing was about 1-1.5 seconds).
Almost better than watch2gether.

How were you connected from the remote connection to Jellyfin server?
