Note: although it is fine to add friends to your Plex server, it is against the ToS to sell access and users are shut down. Those few are probably setting the rest of us up for legal action at some point.
- bronco21016 7y agoAbsolutely, and I don’t participate in that. It’s going to ruin it for all of us and all I can say is I’m glad I’ve already been able to get several years out of my lifetime PlexPass. I’m speculating that the rise of Jellyfin is/will be because of the coming crackdown on Plex and Emby. Github and other repository services will eventually begin shunning Jellyfin much the way Popcorntime was pushed to shadier corners of the web. In the end this is all driven by the media companies refusing to deliver an easy and reasonably priced way to have access to most video content.
- charwalker 7y agoYour last sentence is dead on. I also have Plex Lifetime but wonder if I'd have more of a voice if I was month to month vs no longer paying in. I have Jellyfin running side by side with Plex, though the library is much less curated. I find it works for about 90% of what I want to do once I set up remote access and link in friends and family already connected to Plex. I don't have any player issues (all PC based) so the lack of apps for some products doesn't bother me.
