Plex is better at figuring out naming issues.
JF lacks a global lookup so you have to sort your own DNS.
But then again, JF doesn’t sell your watching habits

Really as long as plex doesn’t try to crack down on locally hosted media, I’m not worried.

I think that would pretty much end them.
I think we’re in for pre-roll ads. More invasive pushes to get us to purchase content from partners. Theyre already selling what and where we’re watching. My guess is the different streaming services will be really interested in where our eyes are if we’re not their customer.
My biggest worry is plex seeing when we’re watching stuff before it’s available. Let’s say the streaming companies continue to decline and piracy continues to increase, If the MPAA decides to renew its fight against piracy they might very well have a database of what and when we’re watching everything.
Right now there’s not really anything they could do about it at least in the US. But right now isn’t 5 years from now on this data is going to live on.
It’s not that hard to picture a change of events where you’re watching a Netflix exclusive show and they line up that you don’t have a Netflix subscription. Putting numbers to intellectual property sale losses without paying is a pretty good way to get laws made.
