@mariodian @derrickgott007 I’m not, I paid ~$50 like 15 years ago for a lifetime pass.
You’re missing the point. Literally anyone anywhere in the world can be invited to and stream from my server just by downloading Plex on any device, or in a browser. No hole punching, no vpn, no security risk.
English

You're right, I don’t know Plex. I never had the need to use it.
But I have the whole Jellyfin pipeline that I can access remotely. If I need to run it on TV remotely, I can punch a hole into my network with Cloudflare or ngrok.
Not a biggie.
If you’re willing to pay $700 for them to do all this for you, then good for you!

Absolutely insane for a server YOU HOST and YOU OWN, in YOUR HOUSE, filled with YOUR MEDIA. They host nothing, they just handle the software side that authenticates the ok to transfer media between devices over YOUR INTERNET that YOU PAY FOR.

Plex has announced a price increase for new Lifetime Plex Pass subscriptions. Starting July 1, 2026, the one-time cost will rise from $249.99 to $749.99. Existing lifetime subscribers will be grandfathered in with no changes to their accounts or benefits. Monthly and annual Plex Pass subscriptions remain unchanged. The company states the adjustment supports the platform's ongoing value and long-term development. Current users can still buy at the old price until the effective date.

@mariodian @derrickgott007 Ok so you fundamentally don’t understand what Plex does and why it’s superior to JellyFin. Plex takes care of all of that automatically.
Log in to any smart TVs Plex app and there you go, stream away. No VPNs needed. Plex has an app on everything. JellyFin does not.
English

The TV is in your home, so is your media server, right? You don’t need Tailscale there.
For remote streaming while traveling, you can stream to your phone or laptop over Tailscale.
That’s the same for any other home media platform.
If you want to stream to a TV remotely, you need port forwarding on your router. Again, that applies to every home media platform, not just Jellyfin.
English

@mariodian @derrickgott007 No, not the same. To stream remotely with Tailscale you need Tailscale on the device you’re streaming to as well as on your server. TVs don’t have Tailscale on them, meaning you can’t stream remotely to them.
English

@MrFunSocks @derrickgott007 Yeah, you need an always-on server/old laptop/rpi. But that’s the same for Plex no?

@BillMiller360 @spikedonline Transphobe! The woman he raped is a man, so he’s not a straight male but a gay male.
See, even you fools can’t get your own stupid logic right 🤣
English

@spikedonline The rapist was a straight male. How odd that you aren't blaming him.
English

A woman who ‘identified’ as a man was raped after being transferred to an all-male psych ward. This is the horror of gender self-ID. The NHS has put trans lunacy above keeping patients safe, says Georgina Mumford

@BillMiller360 @spikedonline Whoosh!
Men rape women. This is why women need women-only spaces.
English

@Cattle_Prodder @CRUEL_K1D @reddit_lies Just like how r/lesbians has no actual women in it, r/conservative is conservative in name only. It’s all left wing “progressives”.
English

@CRUEL_K1D @reddit_lies /r/conservative and similar you retard
English

@Cattle_Prodder @reddit_lies There are no actual right wing subs on reddit. They’re all just filled with left wing people trying to get right wingers banned. It’s like how r/lesbians has no actual women left, it’s 100% all trans identifying men.
English

@reddit_lies do all you retards have a pathologically abysmal reading comprehension? they're referring to rightoid mods in rightoid subreddits (/r/conservative, etc.) aggressively censoring anyone who even slightly disagrees with them. they're like tankie subreddits but love israel
English

@mariodian @derrickgott007 As long as the device you’re on has Tailscale on it, which rules out basically all TVs 🤣
English

@mariodian @derrickgott007 You just can’t watch anything remotely….
English

@derrickgott007 Jellyfin + Jellyseer + Jackett + Radarr + Sonarr + Torrent client of your choice.
Takes less than 15 minutes to setup and it's completely free.
English

@JoeyRiz @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin No I just want my stuff to actually be set up correctly. Maybe you should hire someone who knows what they’re doing?
English


@JoeyRiz @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin It doesn’t have the problem you’re saying it does. Many people, *myself included*, have Plex doing what you say it can’t.
I’d hate to get my smart home set up by you 🤣
English

@MrFunSocks @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin Listen, you could be a fanboy if you want, but acting like it doesn’t have problems is disingenuous
English

@JoeyRiz @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin 🤣 It’s not Plex, it’s your setup. Maybe you’ve got Plex setup incorrectly, maybe it’s your hardware? The only thing we know for sure is it’s not Plex because Plex has no issue doing what you say it can’t do for millions of people.
English

@MrFunSocks @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin If that were true it would lot work on other software….
It’s plex running bullshit in the background on the app and its software
They were paid to add bloat to their software and it’s been trash ever since
English

@MrFunSocks @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin My parents are separated and living in different states and they’re older and so I spend a season with each of them.
English

@MrFunSocks @GamingOptimiz I am not defending it because in this case I don't know
But if you are GPU bottleneck and fix GPU to have higher framerate with same usage, your CPU will likely be the one consuming more to keep up
The more frames you have the higher your cpu usage

Subnautica 2's Steam EULA is getting huge backlash.
On first launch, players must accept a detailed End User License Agreement, and players are worried after read them
>The agreement grants a license to play the game rather than transferring ownership.
>It includes restrictions on streaming, screenshots, recordings, and certain types of content creation or monetization, often requiring disclaimers.
>The publisher retains the right to revoke access for specified reasons.
>Terms may be updated unilaterally, with users expected to review changes.
>The agreement covers data collection practices involving personal and device information.
>It addresses ownership of player-created content, modifications, and related materials.
>Additional clauses address liability limits, dispute resolution through arbitration in California, and prohibitions on certain software tools, VPN use, and other activities.
The game has achieved strong reception overall, with Very Positive Steam reviews and high concurrent player counts. Unknown Worlds Entertainment has noted that it is reviewing player feedback on the EULA.
Some players have requested refunds after reading the EULA, while others just say the terms are normal with industry standards.

@glitcherverse @BrianNiemeier @Pirat_Nation For now. Maybe. I have hundreds and hundreds of physical games, and last time I checked 5-6 years ago many of them had the dreaded disc rot or labels peeling off, rendering them unplayable. Doesn’t happen to digital copies.
English

@MrFunSocks @BrianNiemeier @Pirat_Nation So how about all them games and consoles still out there, before the always on Internet connection crap, sold at thrift stores, pawn shops, or estate sales, then? Or even people keeping their old stuff and building gaming collections? They’re still playable
English

@JoeyRiz @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin No, it’s a problem with something on your network. This isn’t even remotely debatable. If you can’t direct play 4K over your network then your network is the problem…..pretty obvious.
English

@MrFunSocks @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin It really isn’t… I have a 10gig network with a powerful sever.
I’ve tried different servers and setups and it can’t even direct play 4k over that network without issues.
Other software have no issue at all.
Apples to apples it’s a plex problem.
Its well known
English

@forgotv @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin And actually easy and secure remote streaming and library sharing. Oh and much much better software.
English

@geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin The only real benefit Plex offers is just more config time on the Jellyfin stack, that's it.
English

@robertomasymas @geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin If you were running a Plex server but didn’t have a lifetime pass…..why?
English

@geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin Great product getting a little lost in its ways. This is not the decision that bothers me though. When they decided last year that for remote streaming one person has to have pass, that is the one that did it for me.
