I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That’s it folks. I’ve been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I’ll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I’ve been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it’s time to make it production ready.

Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying “Just buy a plex pass” are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

    And Jellyfin shall welcome you with open sourcey arms.

    add some wireguard leases so that you can share access to it with your friends, and presto :)

      What do you mean for wireguard? Can’t they just access it directly?

        I mean if you want to open up your network to the outside, sure. but a VPN would be a bit more safer, right?

          Ah okay, yes I have another thread open elsewhere talking about that exact thing.

            Guess how you would get around Plex’s remote streaming fees. Guess what service would be appropriate for tricking two devices into thinking they’re on the same local network.
