plex sisters...we've suffered another highly embarrassing data breach. i can feel the jellychads laughing at us, is it time to switch?
>>
>>214501932
You only have to worry if youre dumb enough to have paid for this shit
>>
>data breach
isn't this shit just a way to locally host pirated movies? what data would there be to steal, and why would it be collected?
>>
>but i have to make my pirated stuff look like a streaming you guys!
Everyone who bought into the plex meme is a woman; either an actual woman, a tranny, or spiritually a woman.
>>
>>214502021
are you implying that women know how to torrent?
>>
>>214502006
Pay information. I have a plex account, but I didn't use my real name and never gave them money, so it doesn't affect me.
>>
>>214501932
why can't you guys just use an hdmi cable? i don't get it
>>
>>214502091
am I supposed to run an HDMI cable from my seedbox in the Netherlands to my television? I don't think they work over such long distances.
>>
>>214502062
I used a fake name and a disposable debit card, and a meme password with 2FA
>>
>>214502091
Anon, not everyone is an autistic IT guy living alone in a single room apartment.
>>
>>214501932
Yeah switch to VLC.
>>214502756
You've chosen to over-complicate your life with ridiculous nonsense like "Seedboxes" that exist 25 thousand kilometers away from your house.
>>
>>214502912
The amount of autism required to set up plex is 1000 times greater than the amount of autism it takes to plug in an HDMI cable.
>>
>>214502917
seedboxes get better peering on private trackers. I don't like the philosophy behind private trackers but they only exist because shitheads like you won't seed.
>>
>>214501932
what user/pass hasn't been hacked at this point?
i'm not even bothering to change my password
would need to go around all my families houses and re-login cause they're all retards

All to watch a pirated movie?
You people are actually insane.

Some of us have first-world setups. Not everyone lives in a shithole.

>>214501932
Jellyfin is just objectively better, friend.
>>
>>214501932
Pretty good site, the bad thing is that it has almost no content for me.
>>
wtf is a plex? Is it like Tixati?
>>
>>214502091
why would anyone use a cable when you can just use chromecast wirelessly?
>>
>>214501932
Waste of time changing after you've been sodomised. Wont change the buggering
>>
>>214501932
Why would anyone use plex when you can just share your files over the network with nfs or samba and then put kodi on a small computer and use that as a client?
It will even download all the nice artwork for you
>>
>>214501932
I liked Emby better.
>>
>>214506438
Because kodi requires some effort. Plex is literally "run a program" and you've got a gay little netflix style interface for the retards in your family who need to watch things on TV still.
>>
>>214506467
>some effort
letting your average person access technology was a mistake.
>>
>>214506520
why make things overly complicated, with Plex I only need my computer and a smart tv, and it delivers the same exact content bit for bit because of direct play.
>>
>>214506542
fine, use minidlna and you can stream to the client built into your smart tv, or play station, or whatever
https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
>>
>>214506614
harder to share with friends and family, again you're over complicating something just to feel superior. 2 clicks and Plex is guaranteed working across all smart tv OSes, metadata is automatically detected and presented in a nice way.

I have asked /g/ multiple times over the years about a good looking browsable media player, not once have I received an answer other than plex/jellyfin.

mental.

This is the lead developer of the jellyfin media player desktop client app

Plex actually does collect data on the shit you are watching offline.
