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.

Your users can still stream your content because you have plex pass. This is just notifying everyone who’s on a free account.

Except it notified everyone whether their server has a pass or not. In other words, people who don't need to buy a streaming pass were just told they have to buy a streaming pass.
