Jellyfin was forked from Emby years ago when Emby went closed source I believe on the 4.0 update.

They do actually provide a relay server if your personal server isn't entirely accessible for whatever reason (for example I recently added a new NIC on my server which changed the IP and broke my port forwarding and my users were still able to watch my media via the relay). It is limited to low res quality but it is something they're offering.
Anyone know if they're referring to Plex "Home" users or anyone you've granted access to here? I used to just hand out my credentials with my admin account pass code protected but now I make people create their own accounts and just grant them access.
I've had Plex and Emby (what Jellyfin was forked from) running alongside one a other for years now on Windows with zero issues. They shouldn't have any effect on one another.
That works but is pretty insecure as you have nothing protecting your server outside of a basic password.
You're right the guy who paid $5 once for a month of Plex Pass is way more valuable than the one who paid $75 (or $120 full price). The only people more valuable to the company than the $5 guy are the ones who use the app for free.
I fucking hope to god they don't go full enshittification and decide to revoke the lifetime licenses.
I think Google just owns the software because the product page for these watches say the guy invested his own money to get these produced.
Intel iGPUs work phenomenally for transcoding but a lot of people who share with others keep their 4K files in a separate unshared library and only share 1080p and below since they tend to require transcoding a lot more than everything else.
That's essentially the same as rsync
Why would they choose to name the watch "Core 2 Duo" when that's the name of an Intel processor? And why are both watches a "2" variant? They need a new marketing person.
I have had both a Plex and Emby lifetime subscription since around 2018 and relied on Emby for quite a while during Plexs shenanigans 5-6 years ago but still think Plex and Jellyfin are the only true options. Emby is just an amalgamation of the worst qualities of Plex and Jellyfin. It "just works" as a media player in the same way that VLC "just works" but doesn't offer a whole lot outside of that especially nothing that these other two don't offer. Plex is the "polished but expensive and limited" solution and Jellyfin is the "free, some work required, and open" solution.
