  Once they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin and never looked back.

  Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.

    I have jellyfin but Netflix is more reliable and convenient. It’s just that recently it’s really hard to find anything interesting on Netflix anyway so this Twitter BS is just like the last drop…

      IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do

      I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.

      I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.

      $0 a month…

        I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn’t able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there’s just one language and that’s it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I’m interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.

        Avid jellyfin user here:

        Subtitles on jellyfin suck. Like really suck. Unless they are burned in with the media (maybe not the right term, but when they are shipped with the media as a track which some private trackers require) , they progressively get more and more out of sync to a plateau and get messed up with tracking. Almost every release this year has a “fix” for. Multiple clients with the same behavior. Not to mention getting hardware accelerated transcoding working on an ARC GPU 😅

        But overall Jellyfin is damn great. It just is not quite to the refinement of Netflix, which is fine! It isn’t commercially backed luckily, so it won’t go to shit for money like Netflix did either.

    Can I do this with Plex too? The automatic downloading part? Or do I need to switch to another server app

      Yes I use it with Plex. Sonarr and Radarr handle the download and pass it off to Plex.

    Why? What did they do before?

      They banned password sharing (family account) if everyone doesn’t live in the same location sometime ago.

        and still people are lazy enough to just pay those bucks more a month

        I don’t see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It’s not a bait and switch or something.

      Increasing pricing while removing content is the first thing i could think of

      source

      • ExLisper@linux.community ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, but just a reason to re-evaluate if the content they have is worth the money. It’s not like they have some moral obligation to keep the prices low. I don’t see it as a dick move. I don’t have any other video streaming subscriptions so it wasn’t a big difference for me.

  why do you still have it after all this time

  source

  • ExLisper@linux.community ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Because they we’re really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It’s a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it’s not worth it.

    • stebo02@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’d argue it’s not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but limiting your access to only one IP adress definitely is a dick move.

      source

      • ExLisper@linux.community ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Well, that’ really depends if you like their content or not, right?

        Also, they don’t limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.
