You know it's kind of funny and damn near every piece of surprise him software is getting into controversies like this but you've never heard of a free and open source software ever having these problems

No they just have the problem of someone wanting to ad something and then forking it. And then that fork getting unmaintained. Or the main project loosing steam and dropping off also. Seems to be happing to jellyfin, they are stuck at just good enough.

I tried out Plex when I was first setting up my media server and having to do a bunch of stuff through Plex servers was one of the main reasons I jumped ship immediately. The hardware is in my house, the files are in my house, I never want it to leave my house, I kept thinking why the hell do I need to mess around with Plex accounts and online connections??

There’s nothing good to watch these days. I’ll just stick with the collection of old TV shows I’ve got stashed on my server.

I stopped using it for about 5 years because there was this truly cursed period where it wouldn't remember manual connections if you weren't logged in and wouldn't work without an active internet connection if you were logged in. Even after they fixed both of those there was still a 50/50 shot it would treat logged-in local devices as remote devices and stream out via your internet connection and then back in to the client device. In fact I still don't log my devices in if I don't have to.
