Ahoy mateys, it's time to setup Jellyfin if you prefer not to pay for the privilege of self-hosting your own content.

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Still don’t get why people use Plex over Jellyfin

It syncs all movie covers and metadata automatically. When I used jellyfin last, this was a struggle.

Definitely not an issue anymore

It's only an issue if the files aren't properly named. If you're using *arr this won't be an issue. E.g. "Title (Year) - TMBD/TVDB ID" works flawlessly.

That’s good to hear. I’ve got an arr setup so this is promising whenever plex becomes unusable to me.
