What assets?🤣

Well it’s hosted in The Netherlands and I did take some steps to protect my own identity in regards to registration info, but if the studios did take an interest i’d probably have some fun with it by decaliring bankrupcy and dragging out the appeals.

If my server is already open to everyone, what kind of potential attacks do i need to be worried a about? I dont keep personal files on my streaming server, its just videos, music and isos/roms. I dont restrict sign ups, so the idea of an unauthorized user doing something like download a video is a non issue for me really.

I do see where there could be problems for folks running jfin on the same server they keep private photos or for people who charge users for acess, but thats not me.

Am i missing something or is the main result of most of these that a “malicious” actor could dowload files jellyfin has access to without authentication?

Sunk cost is more then just money… Every reply here is some variation of “i would switch but i have all my ratings and users settings in plex already and dont know how to migrate”

Which i can understand paying because you dont have time, i just also think its foolish to pay for a service like plex when the main use case is piracy, something a company like plex clearly can not continue to support legally forever.

Eventually the big media corps will decide they need to end all library sharing options and plex will not be able to win that fight.

Its about $60 more then ive ever paid for any software, and its literally a tool for piracy, why would i pay a company that clearly want to pivot to being a second rate netflix with ads, when i can get what i need for free and not support a shitty tech company.

It was the same thing with realdebrid, its just foolish to think these companies arent going to start cracking down on any kind of “sharing” features until eventually they get removed due to pressure from the anti piracy goons.

If you got your money worth thats great but id rather direct my money to projects that arent trying to profit off pirates until they can pivot to being a legit service and wall out what actually made them good in the first place.

Its clear at this point plex is getting worse and jellfin is getting better. Almost all the replies sayibg they still use plex have a “BUT” in them about wanting to switch and being stuck because they dont know how to transfer this or that (ratings, view counts, etc), which im going to look more into later to see if i can help with.

Or sunk cost fallacy, but whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software i guess. I dont think its a black and White one size fits all thing, i just have seen this patter before with other software, and it was already happening with plex before the price increase.

PLEX is not FOSS, plex is a proprietary fork of XBMC.

My point is that in 5 years a lot of these plex users will wish they made the switch to jellyfin sooner.

All the folks saying “just buy the lifetime pass” gonna be in for a big disappointment in about 5 years

tsla stock price was around $230 when musky used it as collateral for whatever loans he took out for the purchase.

If that, depending on the type of file sometimes its 10mb

I have like 10 different family members using my server. If I have to do anything beyond just letting them log in to a plex account on the app to get access, they just won’t.

Umm that is all you need to do with jellyfin. You can setup wizarr and give them invites to create an account or just manually make them and give out the info to people.

Lot of people confusing a redundancy with backups. My backup server is currently doing its part providing main services due to a bad RAM stick causing all sorts of chaos before I figured out it was the root cause.

I normally have all my dockers backed up and not running but ready to startvon the second server. Most of my data is from sailing the seas and so it can be restored by the ARR stack fairly well. I do backup a few key things like my PGP keys and keepass but the chances of all 5+ of the systems I’m actively using failing all at once is pretty minimal.

Isn’t simplex also funded by venture capitalists like Jack Dorsey? I don’t think I’d trust then not to sell out users when it comes time to pay back the investors.

Enshittification meets Plex.

They need to limit features as a part of their business model, VLC on the other hand doesn’t.

FunkWhale would welcome more users I’m sure

Mainly I’ll use heroic launcher for PC fames or retro arch for playing emulators locally, but the examples you list are both web based front ends, in which case I setup emujs to share with friends.

Since it uses yt-dlp which supports cookies, I would guess it does or it will soon. Not sure about how yt handles “purchased” content, but the cookies work for age restricted videos at least.

Funkwhale is still actively maintained, the last release was less than a year ago.

i host a funkwhale pod and load content to it off qobuz and deezer.
