Any Kodi users here?

All these comments mentioning jellyfish and I haven’t see a single mention of emby. Is it considered bad or something? Because I switched over to it and I am liking it a lot better than plex so far

Man, my Jellyfin subscription just rose in price too.

So then Photoprism is going to lock my photos and ask my mom for money to see them?

Its selfhosting, not freehosting for yet another asshole company.

It looks like as long as the host has a Plex pass, this doesn't change much. It is a regression of service, which sucks, but there are viable alternatives for those unable or unwilling to pay. And honestly, jellyfin is the clear winner in that case and always has been.

Now, if they start to charge my friends and family for access to my media after I have already paid them for their lifetime subscription, then I'll grab a pitchfork with the crowd.

Also, why not run both and be ready? The resources required are minimal if you're running via docker, just some extra RAM and a negligible amount of compute for overhead on library maintenance tasks.

So glad i switched to jellyfin half a year ago

So I have a lifetime Plex pass, but my friend (who is remote) does not. Does this change mean they have the have a Plex pass to connect to my device remotely?

Edit: thanks for the info! After I posted I continued reading and realized that question was already answered! Appreciate the help!

I can understand new features being behind a fee, but this is putting old, old capabilities behind a paywall. Hmmm...

This with a recent decision to remove watch together sort of eliminates the whole reason I would have tried Plex so many years ago.

I'm a fan of Plex (it's worked for me) and understand the Jellyfin crowd too. I'm worried about who is calling the shots at the moment. They aren't aligning with their users.

The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience

How stupid do they think we are?
