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.

How is that better? Why is anyone paying to stream your own content?

Because we should support developers.

You're right. We should support developers.

Here's Jellyfin's 'How to Contribute' page.

The $90 million in venture capital can nourish the leeches at Plex just fine.
