That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing (lemmynsfw.com)

I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

Plex user from way back. Gave them up, forgot why, but lemmy woke me up. Plex is charging for what exactly? And why would I continue when Jellyfin is every bit as easy and free? I feel like I'm missing something.

(And yes, I got the implied /s. Most of lemmy is very literal, autistic even, missed it.)
