I remember being excited when it first came out, but then as we know capitalism happened and ruined it. Im all jellyfin now. But was plex originally starting out to be a good thing or was it just to trick us into being locked into their service after we all got on it?
Ive had my gripes with them over the years but they’ve always had the most feature rich and mostly polished system. I did use Emby (what Jellyfin spawned from) for a few years when Plex was struggling with EAC3 audio and have lifetime passes for both but always come back to Plex.
I won’t defend their recent restrictions on free accounts and additions of features nobody wants, but if you already have a lifetime pass its still the best option IMO.
