Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

  You can forward a port in your router like you would with Plex, or you can use a reverse proxy, or Tailscale Funnel if you want to get jazzy wit it.

    like you would with Plex

    And that’s the point I’m making. The work required to expose Jellyfin to the world is the same work to expose Plex. This change to Plex just charges for the relay servers, you can still do free remote streaming in the same way Jellyfin does. So if feels a bit ridiculous to claim Plex is dead and everyone should switch to Jellyfin, when Jellyfin isn’t actually providing anything Plex doesn’t still do for free.

      You’ve misunderstood Plex’s announcement.

      This change to Plex just charges for the relay servers, you can still do free remote streaming in the same way Jellyfin does.

      This is not correct. The change to Plex affects all remote streaming, regardless of whether you’re using the relay or direct streaming.

      To be clear,

      • You have configured Plex for remote streaming without a relay - You will need to pay for Plex Pass or the Watch Pass
      • You have configured Jellyfin for remote streaming the same way as you would with Plex - Free.

        It still works with internal streaming, and if you configure the networking correctly it won’t know the difference. If you setup Tailscale, you can still do Plex remote streaming for free. You just can’t rely on plex.tv to relay your connection automatically.
