I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.
No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.
If you don't own something, eventually Capitalism will weaponise it against your soul. FOSS is owned in common, and self hosting is your own. Never understood why people liked plex.
Never understood why people liked plex.
Accessibility mostly... Plex' centralized account system allows for your average person to set up and account, accept the invite to my library, and they are done. The lift required to get those same people to use Jellyfin would prompt them to never use it again.
Which honestly is my eventual end game anyway... Once Plex pulls the lifetime pass out from under me I plan to turn my media library internally with Jellyfin and a HTPC.
Jellyfin has largely the same, although I've never used Plex so maybe I'm wrong on that. It's a pain for the host to setup and get going with jellyfin for multiple users with auth (speaking from experience), but it's a do once have forever setup.
Hey guess what software I don't need to use
Tried it once, it's features and quality were so lacking I stuck with Jellyfin. I'd charge Plex $4999.99 monthly to let their software stay in my devices.
Imma use the lifetime pass forever lol. Shits wild.
I'm still using it because I already have a lifetime license. I'm just using it for music and local TV though. I use the DVR feature with a HDHomeRun tuner to record the local news and a few other shows.
I think Jellyfin has some music apps, but last I checked they're still not as good as Plexamp.
Navidrome and symfonium(paid) have been amazing to me for the last year. I'll never go back.
Gouge?
You spotted my deliberate mistake. Have a star ⭐
Emby has been working well for me EDIT: I always get downvoted when I mention Emby. Can anyone explain why? Am I doing something wrong?
