What a joke. Plex isnt worth paying for
Died before I could even buy a home to set up my own home network with.

Plexamp is the reason I'm still using Plex. I'll fully transition to Jellyfin as soon Finamp (or another music app) incorporates robust caching to handle internet deadspots.
Welp, looks like I'm never buying, and therefore using plex
Ho-lee shit.
I remember when they were like $90 and I got mine discounted at $45.

I have a lifetime pass already but I’ve been souring on the app as they changed direction.
Previously it was the best app for running your own personal streaming service. It lets you share your library with friends and it even had its own group watch feature allowing multiple people to watch the same stream together. It was perfect for remote friends and family, brilliant during Covid…. And they removed it for no obvious reason.
Now the company spends more and more time trying to promote their own ad-laden video streams, they want us to rate movies and presumably sell that data. The company lost its way.
Lifetime Plex was still worth it with those features at $200, not at $750. If I had to do it all over again I’d probably use JellyFin.

I did pay 120 or something 8 years ago, I didn’t mind the price at the time but this is not worth it for ppl who don’t don’t have it.
I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?
Examples of basic features I'm missing in Jellyfin:
- Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
- Adding user-defined tags
- Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
- Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
- [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
- No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

It's just a matter of time before they convert the "Lifetime Pass" to a subscription. Absolutely nothing prevents them from following the Adobe playbook and declaring that they'll be dropping support/updates for the "lifetime edition". Future feature updates & security fixes will then be gated behind a $29.99 monthly subscription
