Yes, you are correct. But I must say that Stremio does have its cons and is that it doesn’t run everything locally.
When you run Stremio it runs a server in the background where you can access content from any browser in your network (port 11470) BUT the webpage itself loads external resources from app.strem.io, if you lose internet connection or for some reason app.strem.io is down then you won’t be able to access the server to watch content. Jellyfin runs everything locally.
To me it is very sketchy how they hide their “guest login” option and force you to create an account to use stremio and authenticate with a remote server. There are no local accounts. Jelly does have local accounts, you can limit their download speed, control the devices they use and the movies they can watch.
I guess you could run your own stremio server but doesn’t look like an easy task as they don’t provide binaries and you have to compile and configure the different components yourself.
