Just so the rest of us know, what's "nasty" about Plex and Emby?

• branon 7y ago
  I speak mainly in regards to their closed-source, proprietary nature. I used Plex briefly some years ago, but became dissatisfied with nag screens, paywalls, and the inability to conduct user authentication on my own terms. Usage of a Plex account (or Google/Facebook integration) is mandatory, which is uncool. Emby used to be alright but as of version 3.6, the project was taken closed-source[0]. Thankfully the Jellyfin developers stepped in, and are working to continue the legacy.
