I heard Plex has something going on so people are switching to Jellyfin
Plex has been like this for years, I dropped it as soon as the first jellyfin version was out. Fuck everything about plex
They've banned the use of Hetzner
Why not others than hetzner
I’m still using Plex successfully. I bought the lifetime pass for $75 a few years back and they haven’t been able to track me down and kill me off, so my movies find me wherever I pause long enough to watch a few minutes
Plex has been garbage for longer than their latest outrage.
For sure, I swapped over when I was setting up my automated TV/movie obtainer after I ditched netflix last year, tried to watch something on my phone and it immediately starts complaining that I haven't bought the special version. Also GPU encoding was either nonexistent or paywalled too I don't remember. I'm not going to throw money at something before I've had a good enough period of it working how I'd like.
Oh really? I was just thinking about trying it. Maybe I'll look at other options first then.
Why jellyfin?
Preference aside, Plex has a single cheap lifetime pass that you don’t absolutely need, I don’t see how they can compare to any of this corporate squeeze you for every dime you got bullshit akin to blizzard and friends
