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.

    I don’t deny that they should’ve only sent it to affected users. But it’s an important thing to point out. In another thread, OP argued with multiple people because they thought the users would have to pay, before finally stating that even if the users didn’t have to pay, it was upsetting that the emails were sent.

    Thus my comment about it not affecting users where the server owner had Plex Pass. Both Plex and OP were mistaken imo.
