Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.
Jellyfin ftw
ITT: People who don’t use Plex proudly talking about how they don’t use Plex.
This move makes sense to me. They could be liable for what’s hosted in the cloud, and on top of that you can’t pay for access, and the host is known as a great place to let people do that.
I really don’t understand the people who use jellyfin but insist on shitting on Plex. You can both use jellyfin and not also not be smug about it. It’s the same reason people are tired of the Linux user or back in the day why android users were so annoying.
I never understood this, it’s your selfhosted server but you kind of don’t own it and depend on them, so you just have an application which depends on a their service which means plex isn’t 100% selfhostable, correct?
Plex has been hostile towards self-hosting since the very beginning. They have been asked to add local authentication for more than 10 years.
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 🤦♂️.
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.
