Just did a write-up talking about why I switched from #Plex to #Jellyfin, and outlining some of the differences between the projects.

I was just in a thread on reddit talking about the plex lifetime increases. and how pissed users are. even the ones who already own lifetime passes.

And as i'm responding, moderation deleted the thread. Someone's unhappy at the response.

For the amount of money #Plex is charging. it would great if they trimmed down all the fat they've slowly built up. Streaming channels no one wants. Rental services no one uses. I thought THESE were supposed to be income. Bring back Watch Together. Let me make channels with my TV shows. I could get people on board with THAT.

HOLY FSCK. Did Plex just email me about their new price point for Plex Pass Lifetime? Did they really just up the price from $250 to $750?! SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY?

#Jellyfin has been rock solid for me for more than a year since I dumped #Plex.

Why should I have to log into a third-party website to access media hosted on my own device? Why would I give a third-party service access to my data at all?

Mein #homeserver - ein Raspi 5, 8 GB, mit einer 4 TB SSD - hat Alles in Allem gut 400 € gekostet und darauf läuft #Jellyfin ganz wunderbar. Da fragt man sich schon, ob #Plex mit den 750 $ für die Lifetime Lizenz nicht arg hoch pokert - zumal auch Plex als Firma nicht "lifetime" existieren dürfte.
