We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.
All these comments mentioning jellyfish and I haven’t see a single mention of emby. Is it considered bad or something? Because I switched over to it and I am liking it a lot better than plex so far
I believe emby went proprietary, and jellyfin is the fork that stayed open source. Naturally Lemmy prefers the FOSS one 😅
Yup, that’s why I was on NextCloud, why I avoid MongoDB like the plague, and why I’m here on Lemmy (I justified Reddit because of their open API).
So yeah, that tracks.
I greatly prefer Emby to Jellyfin.
I use Emby with the lifetime premier (their ‘premium’ version).
Works great, but honestly I would just point people to Jellyfin unless Emby provides something specific you need. I just use it because it’s what I’ve had for years.
Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, so they share much of their codebase.
Emby subscription costs a lot even if you just want to use it on a home server. It can work without subscription but will display a warning before playback. Jellyfin is free.
Its quite annoying how licensing is tied to devices. I can’t even sign in after reinstalling my OS.
I like Emby a lot. It’s my backup for Plex. I even give them money as development isn’t free (frequently)
