Installed jellyfin this week, it is awesome. My roku found the server and streamed a movie without buffering.
-
Did Plex enshittify recently? I've seen a lot of people switching to jellyfin.
-
Yep, big time. Basically dead at this point, forcing payments to stream your own content.
I started setting up my homelab last month and immediately went to Jellyfin because Plex just screamed "corporate bullshit" to me. Sure enough, it was the right call.

Basically dead at this point
For free users though, there are some of us who paid for Lifetime Plex Pass tier a long time ago... I do wonder if Lifetime really means forever though.

Narrator voice: "But it did not last forever..."

Plex is completely enshittified at this point.
- You need to pay if you want to share your movies with friends
- They spy your watch list, and share what you watched with your friends by sending them emails
- They released a new half broken app
- They removed the "party" option that let you watch a movie together with friends remotely
- They're actively trying to hide the personal streaming features in order to push people to their legally (and ad-riddled) streamed movies
So Jellyfin is now the best solution afaik
-
They made it so server owners need a plex pass to stream to anyone outside the same LAN. Or the clients need to pay $2 a month if the server owner doesn’t have one
-
2 dollars just for providing the tunnel service, mind you. A subscription for glorified port forwarding.
-
The glorified port forwarding issue is even worthless if you are a CGNAT user, and it is 2025 so I'll assume everyone is.

For those with preexisting lifetime memberships, things haven't changed yet (outside of basically trying to make Plex a social media thing), but in my eyes it's only a matter of time. Made the switch to Jellyfin this week after having used Plex for 5 years. If I wanted to invite new users to join my server, they'd have to pay $2 a month to be able to watch on their phone instead of the one-time payment of $5.
