I guess its as the title asks, is it worth hosting Jellyfin if you already have a DLNA server set up?

When you say you use this for your parents, are they connecting to your home jellyfin server?

I'm running Plex right now for me and my parents, and I've had to do practically no network shenanigans, it just works. I'm beginning to worry about the direction Plex is going though, so I'm looking into jellyfin. But I've read that configuring remote access can be more complicated.

Yeah, its available to close family. There's a few guides out there on how to set up external access. Might be a bit difficult if you're not familiar with the technical stuff, but you should give it a go anyways if you've got some time to spend.
