We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

    I believe emby went proprietary, and jellyfin is the fork that stayed open source. Naturally Lemmy prefers the FOSS one 😅

      Yup, that’s why I was on NextCloud, why I avoid MongoDB like the plague, and why I’m here on Lemmy (I justified Reddit because of their open API).

      So yeah, that tracks.

      Ironically Plex users cling to their solution like it’s life or death without considering the other side.
      Just like when someone mentions that Windows has it’s place too and sometimes Linux isnt the be all and end all of all OS.

      The hyprocrisy of some users here…
