I totally get what you are saying but think of the average user, they are not like most people on this site who know and are willing to fiddle with Tech. Plex is a media server, porn comes in all sorts of images, gifs, and videos which are all media files. If you already have a server set up, it’s as easy as adding a library and pointing it to the folder you want instead of signing up and configuring a whole new service that most users are not going to have the time or want to set up. Especially because before this push to share what everyone is watching on plex, it was all private anyways.

echodot@feddit.uk 11 months agoWhy do you even need it in a Plex server, the whole advantage of a Plex server is that it gives you the same experience you get from a streaming platform. So you can sync your viewing between devices and get automatically arranged shows broken down between season and episode (so better than Amazon can manage it).
Why do you need that for your, I’m assuming, 2 min porn videos?

Being able to browse a multi-TB library from any device is pretty nice. Also transcoding helps when away from home with a mobile internet connection. Before jellyfin I was using shitty hidden photo album phone apps to hold my collection

Wrong! 2 hour porn videos, watched 2 minutes at a time! Save my progress, I don’t want to miss any of the story.
