Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

    I’m ready to replace plex but unless something major has changed in the last several months I simply can’t understand how people feel jellyfin is a comparable solution to plex. I couldn’t even get past the user interface and it falling flat on its face with media recognition.

          This is a big part of the problem. You can use Plex on PlayStation, xbox, Roku, apple tv, iPhone, android, etc…

          The apps are ubiquitous, the coverage is complete. In just about any situation, Plex is a workable option.

            I think the situation under discussion is converting plex users to jellyfin though. Most plex users won’t have a reverse proxy setup because it’s not needed.
