Probably going to get hate for this. But I have easily gotten 750 dollars worth of value out of my lifetime subscription. I'm sure they are doing this to drive down lifetime subscriptions and increase month to month. But I legit think 750 over 20 years it's still a legit price.

It;'s probably about 800 euro, but that is still 800 euro more than Emby/Kodi/Jellyfin or whatever other altnerative. I had a lot of issues with Plex due to them requiring that proof of ownership thing which didn't really work on TrueNas core I think it was?

Jellyfin is way easier imo

My old kodi setup just works, year after year, and will work 10 years from now too...
