Shit. Thanks for that info. I’ve never used it but figured I would’ve heard about news like this. Guess not

Nice.

… You just literally said hosting shouldn’t exist. You are using the Internet right now.

Gotcha. We’ll see, I guess.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
Are you advocating for an self hosting to only exist locally. Or are you advocating for hosting everything on corporate servers?
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
Then they aren’t doing it correctly, or lying. That is an included/free feature. They advertise it that way and other users ITT say it works. I’ve no reason to doubt them.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
I didn’t realize I did that. Given that my opinion on OSes is that “the larger the budget, the shittier it is”, I don’t knowingly do what you’re suggesting here. Linux over windows and macOS any day.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
Yes, they changed the free featureset, and afaik those changes were fair. Providing a tunnel for remote streaming for free doesn’t seem like a good business plan. I mean, yeah they could always back out of the promise of what a lifetime pass is, and if they do I will find a new solution and hope they’re sued for it.
If they do back out of their lifetime commitment, I suspect that would drive some other similar apps to get better. Maybe I would even learn to live with jellyfin as it currently exists in that situation. But so far I don’t see a reason to, and that would almost have been true if I never paid for plex.

Here’s a controversial and complex stance, but you may be able to understand it eventually:
Don’t buy it.
I am a proponent of FOSS too but that doesn’t mean anything built for profit is shitty, let alone “cancer”.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
So don’t expose it to the internet
No
Thwres zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.
…except this entire thread is based on a use case for it
With Plex you get to pay for those bugs and still have software that depends on a connection even though you’re hosting and viewing your own media, locally.
You’re condescending dude. I wouldn’t be using Plex if I didn’t understand like 37 things you’re implying I don’t understand here. I paid for it once, it was a good value for me, and I find it pretty weird that you apparently want to admonish me for that. If you want to use jellyfin have at it. I found it buggy to the point of barely being usable. Just sharing that experience and I don’t need anyone to agree with that.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
I understand there’s an explanation for it. Doesn’t make these things not things to consider when choosing one’s solution
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
That only addresses one of several items.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
99.9% of the use mine has seen for the past several years has been to stream to my living room TV in the same house. But regardless, what point are you making? It’s commercial software. And btw the $85 I paid years ago to use it forever was more than worth it to me.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 3 days ago:
Imo Plex is worth the lifetime pass if you get it on sale.
All the comments saying Jellyfin is better always puzzle me. I’ve given it like three chances now and each time it feels just as buggy as the last. And that doesn’t even consider the fact that you’ll need more steps to expose it to the Internet for remote viewing or the fact that there’s literally a list of unaddressed security holes github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

Ah the weekly “Plex should be entirely free even though it’s commercial software!”

If you looked at Reddit, you would see that any criticism of Kirk is largely being equated to celebration or at least supporting it.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 week ago:
Missed a detail: any criticism of the scumbag is now considered “celebration” or “justification”. We hated him before he died, but now we cannot say that. Because of the Fuhrer at all.

- Comment on Fuck you in particular 2 weeks ago:
It’s “overly judgemental” to wait years for someone to fulfill a promise only to have them consistently give bullshit excuses and never remotely follow through? Nah, fuck him. I don’t care how he “started his career”. I can tell you have not invested time reading about this scenario.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I thought semple was cool too until it became apparent he’s a grifter. He started a Kickstarter years ago to build an adobe replacement suite of software. I believe he claimed there would be test builds available several times for at least two years:
kickstarter.com/…/abode-a-suite-of-world-class-de…
He basically has been unresponsive for months at a time and has set many deadlines that haven’t been hit. I don’t think that software will ever happen and I don’t think he ever truly planned to build it.

I actually like their idea, except I’d do the opposite side of the aisle and just for any kind of inhuman shit that right wingers say. You’d probably end up with a million neo Nazis and tens of millions of right wingers saying shit that would get them fired. Assuming you made the submission process smooth
