    I dropped it in favor of Jellyfin some time back, but this was a good excuse to go ahead and delete my family’s accounts.

    Went there to update my password but got reminded what a horrible experience Plex is these days, so deleted my account instead.

      I’ll probably get the lifetime pass after seeing how cumbersome setting up jellyfin is.

        Jellyfin setup is fairly effortless. They have a very long way to catch up on apps though. That’s all that’s keeping me in plex.

        It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there’s scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.

            They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

              Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.

                Personally it’s quite nice. I just request what I want to watch and the system grabs it automatically. It can download from Usenet too.

    Meanwhile I made a post asking if plex is bad now and most people on it said “no it’s great I paid for my lifetime pass years ago and its been the best!” Yeah, we know the truth now.

    Jellyfin all the way.

      Plex hasn’t been getting better, but it still does what I need. I have a lifetime pass from years ago. If I was starting today I would be a lot less inclined to pay for Plex though. They keep adding things I don’t want.

      Seems unlikely that this happened. Most people on Lemmy despise Plex and forgive all the shortcomings of Jellyfin

          Well it’s just generally buggy firstly. Glitchy UI for me especially for hours after I started scanning my media library.

          Also it has no built-in system for connecting from somewhere outside your home. You have to manage that yourself.

          Then there’s the fact that it’s got lots of security issues.
