Plex will be blocking access from at least one VPS provider

This is the last straw. I already was very shakey with all the restrictions that were piling up, but this is just one thing too much. Cancelling my subscription and installing jellyfin.

I switched to Jellyfin a long time ago and I don't regret it at all. Even for non-techie friends and family the experience has been more pleasant.

as always for profit orgs are proven to be abusive on their customers... so happy that I'm using Jellyfin

lol "Selfhosted" my ass - that's why FOSS is superior regardless of features.

Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!

Not really. I bought Plex for $100 13 years ago.

Do you know how much time that saved vs fucking around with xbmc trying to get plugin to work and the media scanner to be consistent?

It was worth every penny and saved me hundreds of hours fucking around with libraries to scan in anime because it doesn't follow the proper s01e01 format.

Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?

Oh, and was that software available in 2013? No? Right, you are just throwing shit against the wall because someone pointed out that Plex was the best software we had, for a reasonable price, for 10 years or so.

You're the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn't mentioned explicitly but I meant it

always worth the extra effort

Here I am thinking always means past, present, and future. What a fucking idiot I am 🤦‍♂️.

I think that person is a troll. I’ve seen him post inflammatory shit elsewhere.

Jellyfish is a much better option now, by far. It it’s not a decade ago right now so I’m not sure why he’s so hung up on that?

Edit: yeah look at his stats hahaha. He’s also replying with an alt account
