This sucks ass. I’m a lifetime Plex Pass holder, so this doesn’t affect me yet, but who’s to say they won’t fuck over lifetime users sooner rather than later?

Honestly, this made me consider setting up Jellyfin. What the fuck?

Try conduwuit instead of Synapse if you get stuck. For me, it was really simple to install and the dev is really nice.

I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don’t use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won’t be used for a while. FML.

Ah, that would do it! Thanks for the information.

That’s interesting, I wonder why no one in these comments mentioned it if it’s a bit farther along than Jellyfin. Maybe just good word-of-mouth marketing?

I’m seeing a lot of love for Jellyfin in the comments. Seems like Jellyfin is finally mature enough to give a real shot.

Does anyone know how Emby is doing in relation to Plex feature parity?

It was a cool idea, but I could never get it to sync everyone’s playback properly without constant buffering for all involved. We just sync manually by counting down from 3.

I don’t mean to be glib or upset you, but you still have lifetime access to the versions of Sublime Text for which you paid; you just don’t get free updates to the next version. AFAIK, that’s been the way they’ve done things for years.

Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn’t self-host an alternative, but you don’t have to.

I have everything containerized (Podman) on my Debian PC and use Diun to check for updates and send notifications to a Discord server that I monitor. I do all of my updates manually so I don’t update unless I have time to troubleshoot; if it breaks I still have the configs and data so I can delete the container and start over.

I also do monthly backups to cold storage (yeah, they should be weekly/biweekly but it’s just personal data that I’m okay with losing). I don’t use a RAID config or BTFS/ZFS like some do, so it’s pretty easy to just set it and forget it. It really depends on what you’re trying to do, how bulletproof it needs to be, and how you like to organize things.
