Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin?

Thing is, Plex turns out to be less and less of a good thing with each passing day. Bloat, spying, removal of features, price hikes etc.

If you want to pay for software that is good, there’s always Emby.

Already paid for Plex and it works. Im not in favor of every change they’ve made, but it’s still damn solid and takes money to run.

The point being these whiners aren’t going to run off and support FOSS/alternatives… Just leech.

  Yeah but you could pay for Emby and not deal with all the bloat and removed features and such. Or use Jellyfin for free and have the same experience. Plex’s value proposition is shrinking by the day.

    Cool. Other people are perfectly justified to though.

Is there any evidence that Plex has been spying? Genuinely curious. Sure they are closed source so we cant prove they are not.

  There was the time that users started receiving emails from Plex telling them about other users and the shows they’ve been watching on their personal server, without permission. Spooked the hell out of me. There was allegedly a pop up that explained this new “feature” that was supposed to function as an opt-in. Problem was it worked more like an opt-out, as many of us never received the pop up, and weren’t even aware of the feature until people reached out to us to let us know Plex was sending them Emails about our library content.
