Oh, I heard about faceweeks. Theyre made up of 30 ad-hours per metaday in a faceweek

What does one need 11 homes for?

I think its time that the heritage foundation is dissolved.

Great, now how do you deal with 30 remote streamers when your IP changes? Do you have tobsetup extra knobs just to get remote streaming to work? Are your apps refined or still buggy?

I’d personally rather deal with 5 options to turn off in settings than deal with all those extra steps and drawbacks. You really seem to have a huge hate bone for plex, so enjoy your choice, and move on.

Sure, so you open settings and simply disable those extras. Then you have a nice clean ui with only your libraries. It even cleans up the app when disabled so there’s only home and libraries tabs. Nothing more.

I think many people aren’t aware all the extras have disable options in plex. Essentially turning it back into plex from years ago.

Sure, but you also don’t have the option to use those features because they don’t exist in jellyfin.

In my plex instance, I have discover enabled, and enabled all the streaming services so that discover is populated with all the movies and shows available. Then I have an automation setup so I can search in discover for a movie, and add it to my watchlist, and my automation will automatically download that movie and add it to my library.

I can do it right from my couch, and its WAF approved. Using those bloat features against them, in a way.

But, its just as easy to turn those all off if one doesn’t want to utilize them. I’d be annoyed if they forced them on permanently but that’s not what plex does, but they sure get a lot of hate for just having those features.

Same, I’ve paid once, 12 years ago, and imo it was worth supporting them.

Meh, I went into plex settings on the server and just turned off all the bloat. Its all on one page. Not a big deal.

Because its more polished, has more platforms for clients to run on, and can be remotely shared with a simple account login and no configuration required. To name a few.

Lies. Local streaming never required a plex pass. Its for remote streaming only, but keep pushing that false narrative.

And you can go to plex settings and disable all the love channels, discover, friend activity, etc that everyone complains about. Make it a simple plex server again.

But then how will you know how much they love the smell of their own farts?

*only for external streaming.

You can cut it off from the internet and stream in your house locally for free still.

End from any external streaming perspective, they are hosting a repository with your connection and port info, so your external friends can connect without you needing to manually configure or update their settings when you make a local change. Plus they are hosting stream relays for those that are unable to make a direct connection. To me, seems fair they’d ask for payment for that service.

You can literally replace “US” with “Russia” in this title and it would still make perfect sense.

Everyone knows now he can be bought and swayed easily by money, since money talks.

And revanced youtube for android does the same.

Yes, because the core mechanics of their platform is media metadata management and streaming. As long as those work, and my users don’t have to pay anything (because I have a plex pass lifetime already), then it has no effect on me or my users.

All that extra stuff can just be turned off.

Eh, tbh it still does the core basics of streaming my content and Metadata management, so I don’t really care about enshitification of ‘extra’ features that I never use. It’s still the easiest way to share media

Actually I never record videos and rarely take pictures with them. It’s the feature i use the least.

I use them for music, phone calls, and AI requests (like having a Google home you can ask at any moment). Once and a while I’ll ask it to tell me what I’m looking at to listen to it describe something. That feature uses the camera to snap a shot of what your looking at.

When I walk somewhere and need to use maps, it tells the directions to me as I walk which is pretty neat.
