Casey LissSiri, show me enshittification
Plex reneged on “remote people can stream for free as long as the server owner has a [paid] Plex Pass" and it’s now “remote people _also_ need to have a Plex Pass or a $2/mo / $20/yr sub"
Do not dig it.
(Or, I'm grossly misunderstanding things. Which would be great! But if so, this clause at the top is VERY unclear)
Cyberpunk Librarian@caseyliss If you’ve not looked at Jellyfin, you might want to check it out. It does everything that Plex does, it's free and open source, you can stream to any device you like, there are all kinds of clients and an official app for iOS and iPadOS, and it pretty much works exactly the same way Plex does, right down to the file naming conventions.
I run mine on a Mac Mini and I have more problems with the Mac than I ever do with Jellyfin.
Jack Brewster@CyberpunkLibrarian @caseyliss I use Jellyfin in docker on my synology (no transcoding though) with infuse on my clients. Works a treat. And I can download to my device (which loooms like you can't do with free plex).
