I know people are going to crucify me for this but just fucking use Plex at that point
thanks but no. I like my privacy more
And I like that my wife and kids can jump on and access my server whenever they want from any device without fuss. Everyone has their priorities! I take my privacy pretty seriously but I can’t make it the number one consideration at the cost of everything else all the time. Plus, Jellyfin is a security risk if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m pretty tech savvy but it definitely pushes my limits so I do not feel comfortable setting it up and constantly maintaining it.
I’m not exposing jellyfin, but for sure I wouldn’t let my plex server even see the internet (I bet iy wouldn’t even work that way).
jellyfin is perfectly accessible everywhere it needs to be. been using a VPN on my phone for ages for all traffic.
They jacked their prices, or are about to anyway. If you don’t have a lifetime Plex pass then Plex might not be a viable option. My seedbox provider has been pushing people to Jellyfin for anyone without a Plex pass.
“Jacked their prices” is a tad dramatic and if you use Plex regularly you’d be foolish not to just buy the lifetime subscription when they put it on sale for like $80 every year. The price change this year was modest except for lifetime which went from $125-$250 with a heads up meaning you could’ve still gotten it at $125 before the change.
Do you know the details of the price change?
I thought I had a lifetime Plex pass, but turns out I was on yearly and the price went up $20/year, so I bought lifetime before the price went up. My whole family uses Plex, I couldn’t handle setting up Jellyfin for everyone and their devices.
Yeah if I was just serving myself I would’ve probably stuck with Jellyfin, but my wife and kids also use my server. Because of it we pay exactly $0 a month in subscriptions. Plex lifetime pass was a very easy decision to make.
If they do a complete heel turn tomorrow and fuck us all, I could simply shut it down. The money I’ve saved so far has been worth it.
Doesn’t have a sync play feature like Jellyfin does
I understand why you might find that useful but I do not think that is exactly the most important feature in the world to most people. I could also rattle off plenty of things Plex can do that Jellyfin can’t. I have used both and the fact of the matter is just am willing to take the trade offs for the simplicity of Plex. You do you!
