That means if there is internet outage, I cannot access my own media through Plex. Right?
Edit: add "through Plex"
Sounds like it. The more Plex does things like this, the closer I get to adopting Jellyfin.
This was the inevitable outcome. Plex has been on the enshitification path for a while. Been telling people to save themselves some grief and just move to Jellyfin now. You'll have to do it eventually once Plex hits another step on their path.
I agree. But I have a list of things Plex still does better. Iβm hoping I can hold on until Jellyfin can adopt these features.
Iβm hoping that if Plex pulls something really stupid, we get a dev effort like the Reddexit last year that made Lemmy so much better.
what do you as an AppleTV client? I'm in a similar boat, but development around anything official (or nearest) in swiftfin et., al. Appears to have stalled out completely.
I donβt. I use Plex until Jellyfin has been built out more.
And have filter "Unplayed" stick every time.
Glad you made that point. For anyone like me whoβs been putting it off for ages, this was the motivation I needed. Finally installed it on Monday, immediately after noticing the change.
Still configuring, so canβt compare.
well plex doesn't even advertise itself as a fully self host thing anymore. it's a way to watch locally dtored media alright, but a lot of stuff requires reaching out to the online services
