  • Thank you for posting this. I thought it was just me.

    In my case, one user actually lost access entirely to my libraries, the updated app was trying to force him to buy a personal pass, even though I have a Plex pass.

    I had him reset his app and clear cache, to no avail. I ended up having to REMOVE his access to my libraries, and then reshare them to him, before he could access them again.

    He was quite upset at Plex during the entire process.

    Then the next day, he got this same email, and was frustrated all over again thinking he was gonna have to fight it again.

    Really terrible customer service here, very sloppy. Aside from the fact that this is a greedy cash grab, it’s just being done poorly.

    Jellyfin still isn’t feature packed enough for me to switch to, unfortunately.











  • 50TB!

    I know many people have much more, but wow. 4k I’m guessing? Or full quality 1080 Blu-ray rips?

    My TV is… Inadequate. An old 1080p LCD that won’t die. But it’s plenty big, and the backlight is even and the blacks are black enough. It’s plenty clear.

    I’ve really enjoyed 4k stuff on my buddies TV. But not enough to justify ditching a perfectly good TV, and the costs associated with a proper HDR OLED, and the increase to my current storage solution (8TB) and the time to find and download everything at Max resolution. I download most my stuff at 720p, I don’t really notice the difference between the two unless I’m pixel peeping.

    Plus my family uses my media server remotely, and my upload is only 14mbps, so I’d need to force transcoding, and I’m not sure my server has enough chooch to do 4 concurrent transcoded streams.

    I really should just bite the bullet and start with my storage and get higher bitrate stuff now… gah… it’s a slippery slope lol, and so far I’ve been happy with my simple setup…

    Sorry for the wall of text, guess I just needed to write this all out 🤷‍♂️
