“jellyfin isn’t immune to security incidents”
Well, no software is. The difference is that Plex just leaked data of all their users, where Jellyfin can’t, because they don’t have this data.
Plex isn’t perfect, but jellyfin X Y Z
Really, my guy? You forget that Plex takes things away after saying they wouldn’t? You’re happy with your paid Plex pass… Until Plex decides one day that your pass isn’t lifetime anymore. Or that it doesn’t cover the features it used to. And yes, Plex has lied about this before. That’s why so many ppl are pissed at Plex.
And please give an example of “jellyfin being held back”, whatever that means.
Ethan Sholly, if you don’t know anything about how FOSS works, just listen and stop talking.
Oh, and we’re showing all your friends what you watch without you asking for it. And by friends, we mean everyone we leaked your account and payment details to. Twice.
Why the literal fuck anyone has anything to do with Plex at this point is beyond me. They don’t supply anything unique and they abuse you to do it.
Not sure if I trust selfh.st after that hot take against FOSS
Plex isn’t perfect, but the open-source aspect of Jellyfin is holding the platform back. Fractured development across its third-party ecosystem prevents any clients from being as functional as apps like Plexamp while also creating hyper-focused support for popular platforms and leaving smaller platforms virtually unsupported.
This is a strange take. Being open source doesn’t cause unfocused development and platform prioritization issues. Those both happen to proprietary software, especially the latter.
These are more symptoms of it being a community project rather than developed by a company, but community FOSS projects can also be run very effectively. There are many examples of this.
A lot of FOSS development is done by the people who use it. So I suspect as more people move away from Plex, a subset of those users will help contribute to the aspects of Jellyfin they care about.
Jellyfin development is accelerating, while Plex’s enshittification is accelerating. The line is different for everyone, and one by one, I suspect Plex will cross them all.
