Ah, the answer to that… I configured the server beforehand and installed it at their house as a gift, so I have persistent SSH access over VPN and can administer it remotely at will within tmux. Has worked for several years.
The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.
Yes, in my case I personally had to setup both clients (Plex and Jellyfin) for the family members myself.

Surely you must be trolling at this point
i thought this posy was “what may i be missing by not using plex” - nope! - its “list your reasonfor not using jellyfin so i can argue with you”
Great; I’ll have you do support and ongoing maintenance for all of my plex users.
