People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I don't think downplaying them is the way to go though, Some of these issues have been in existence since 2019.

I am not downplaying them. And yes they should get fixed. But this attack needs access to an account on your server.

so as long as you can guess the full file path,

Yes, also should be fixed, probably by some sort of salt and authentication, but can be easily prevented by adding a random character in the base/root path to the media. Especially with docker or similar, thats an 1 min fix.

And even if not? What then? Why would someone want to attack that?

Those are not good, no. But no deal breakers and actually more blown up then downplayed imho.
