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.

All I know is I've been told over and over and over that Plex is better than Jellyfin because of reasons, so this latest move won't have me changing my mind!

I've used both and plex is definitely better at many things, they just might not be worth it for everyone.

If jellyfin is working for you there probably isn't a reason to switch.
