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.
It does, and I concede that, but they do nag you constantly about it. And honestly, if that was the case then I'd say they could charge on that if they were clear why they had to all of a sudden after 10 years, but then I would say it should just be a charge to use their relay network, and have it be easily opt-out able. Maybe a guide on how to set it up yourself
