I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

Jesus, please read the other comments.

If you have a pass, it’s free to share for you and your guests.

Plex may no longer be a value, but this doesn’t really change anything for passholders. To OP’s point, even if they change the terms in the future, they’ve pulled enough value for the cost and are therefore happy with the service.
