The update got released over 2 months ago. So sensible admins should not be getting hit by this.

Also I use Jellyfin btw.

Everyone talks about Jellyfin, but I just switched to Emby and I couldn't be happier (no connect cloud stuff). Can someone please let me know why and how I just made the worst decision of my life please.

    The main reason is that if you switch from Plex to Emby you're going from paid licenseware (fully enshittified) to paid licenseware (not fully enshittified yet). It's like when everyone finally dropped Skype and moved to... Discord. Which hey it's closed source and owned by venture capital, but it doesn't suck yet!!! And now in 2026, Discord is what Discord is.

    But I haven't paid anything to Emby (I don't need the code behind that key) and without cloud, I could continue using this version forever and they can't enshitify it

    Jellyfin is a fork of Emby before they closed the code, so most likely everything you have on Emby you would have on Jellyfin but without the worry that tomorrow Emby will pull a Plex onto you. Up until a while ago they were so alike that you could use Emby client on a Jellyfin server, not sure if that's still possible though.
