I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That’s it folks. I’ve been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.
They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.
I’ll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I’ve been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it’s time to make it production ready.
Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying “Just buy a plex pass” are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.
The drastic changes in limits are a cash grab.
There is now a subscription requirement for the server owners or the users. This is not a Plex Pass only approach, there is a Watch subscription as well.
It is a cash grab. Its also not their first, and won’t be their last.
Its why I use JF despite being a lifetime Plex pass subscriber.
No. This is completely factually wrong.
A) there is no watch subscription required at all if the server owner has a Plex pass.
B) it is still entirely free to stream on your local network, regardless of whether or not you have a Plex pass.
So like I said, if you use Jellyfin with wireguard you can use Plex exactly the same way with exactly the same fees (none), if you pay for a Plex pass, then your fees just went down as users no longer have to pay to unlock the android and iOS apps.
You should probably re-read what I said, you seem to be missing the italicized or in there.
Anyway, enjoy your day. You have zero chance of convincing me that this is anything other than the latest cash grab. Its why they’ve been going downhill for years - features no one asked for that exclusively provide them profit options, usually breaking something else.
Goodbye.
