Existing Lifetime Plex Pass memberships are unaffected by the upcoming price hike; if you already locked in your sub at a lower rate, you won’t have to pay any additional fees, and your service isn’t changing

For now.

It’d be mildly annoying to have to switch to Jellyfin, or some other option, but I have no qualms ditching Plex if it turns to crap. Don’t ever give into the sink cost fallacy.

The only reason I'm still using plex is the smart TV I have doesn't support Jellyfin.

Time to set up a Linux stream box that does support it (and whatever else I want).

Roku has a jellyfin app. In case you didn't want to setup up your own Linux stream box

Yeah a cheap Roku box or stick will run a jellyfin or emby client. I run these.

Though I know some people are complaining about Roku lately, their connection requirements etc. I wished there was a Roku equivalent that was open source. Like an open source clone of the Roku OS you could flash on to Roku hardware. Or jailbreak it or something.

If there were, I'd soooo develop for it.

Roku added like 4 new ads on the homepage recently in canada
