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.
Yeah, you should probably reread what I pointed out, which is that previously every single iOS and Android user had to pay to use those apps, regardless of whether or not the server owner was paying for a Plex pass.
Pro tip: if you're going to be a blind, stick your head in the sand ostrich, and not listen to people or consider what they have to say, then say so up front, or here's a trick: don't waste people's time coming into a discussion forum at all.
Good, enjoy living in a naiive fantasy world where software gets ridden by magical angels who don't need money for food and rent.
Goodbye permanently.
Lmfao, blocking someone for disagreeing with you about whether or not a Plex pricing change was a rip off.
And people wonder how the internet ended up as a collection of filter bubbles where you only hear what you want to hear. Try growing a skin.
Just an outside perspective here - its probably more about how you comment than what's in it.
If you replied to me like that I'd block you too.
Yeah, I replied saltily after they shut down and said 'nuh uh I'm not listening'.
Before that I was literally just having a discussion about Plex's pricing model. Probably shouldn't have so boldly said 'factually incorrect' but is that really what you'd block someone over?
Going through your comments, it was way more than just that one. You're pretty salty all over this thread, and you're not really reading what people are saying, just repeating a lot.
So probably I would too, yeah.
