I switched from Plex and Synology Video Station, nice project jellyfin, thanks for your work.
But there is a great lack of an opportunity to share a video file via a public link, without additional authorization for online viewing.
For example, in Synology Video Station, you could open public access with a separate link to the video file, for online viewing, where you could give download access, or limit this possibility. These links can be managed, closed or opened, change access time, choose video quality, audio track, ...
It is very convenient when you need to give access to viewing a certain file to an unlimited number of people by link, without the need for authorization and registration.
Jellyfin only offers the ability to download videos as a file, which is not always appropriate and useful.
Sometimes you need to limit the download and provide a temporary preview.
For example, when a new home video has appeared, it is very convenient to give a link to certain people, or family, friends, to watch.
Without the need for authorization, which greatly complicates the process and takes a lot of time. And elderly people, parents, will not be able to pass authorization at all, even if all the data is available.
It is worth expanding the functionality of jellyfin, at the same time optimizing the process of interaction and viewing.
Please consider the implementation of such functionality in jellyfin, regarding public access to a certain file with online viewing. Options for download, availability by date and time, selection of subtitles and audio track, quality, bitrate - can be additionally implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.
