WHAT THE FUCk!?!?!?
How much does jellyfin cost tho
You will own nothing, and be happy.
>>220620345Nothing. Apart from hours spent trying to get it setup....and learning css coding to get it looking somewhat decent..Even though even css coding can't undo locked in inbuilt design issues stopping even css coding getting it the way you want
>>220620073>he didnt buy it years ago when it was on sale for 80 dollars
Just get a cheap used blu-ray player. Blu-rays are stupid cheap.
>>220620073Huh? It’s $250 now, I bought it when it was like $100 I think Where your getting 750?
>>220620073The threads for Plex that pop up now and then has led me to believe most anons think you have to pay for the service at all. It's great for what you get for free, and most anons don't need the ability to stream their collection outside of their own home network.
>>220624454Plex recently announced the price hike starts July of this year.
>>220620073Why do you even need to stream it? Just have your stuff on a hard drive and watch it off that plugged into a TV or whatever
>>220624623if you want to not drag your computer to a different TV or you want to watch it on a tablet / phone anywhere in your house is why. The free version lets you watch it anywhere on any device that can use the Plex app on your home network. Start / stop and pick up at the same spot, it gathers and organizes the meta data for you after you torrent it. That's why you use it.
>>220621916You do understand people that actually use Jellyfin know this is all bullshit, right?
>>220624670Use an external HD stupid. Dont drag your computer around. And watching TV or movies on a phone is dumb.
>>220620073just use a NAS
>>220624622That is so Jewish. $250 is already a lot. If I hadn’t bought it 5 years ago, I would never download it, and use a free jellyfin or whatever
>>220621916>hours spent trying to get it setupbro jellyin takes like 5 minutes to set up are you retarded?
>>220624670>drag your computerA 5tb external drive weighs like 4 ounces broFits in your pocket
>>220624912anon, do you not see the inherit quality of life and utility in not having to disconnect a HD and move it around the house whenever you want to watch something in a different spot? It's as set and forget easy as it could be. Your method falls apart the moment you have multiple people wanting to watch different things in different spots as well.
>>220624912>>220625260Why bother moving something around when your entire home and entertainment library can share an extremely simple ecosystem via an app? All for free. Yeah, small HDs aren't cumbersome to move around, but why bother with disconnecting anything when you don't have to.
>>220625338Don’t bother explaining the concept to people who think they are the smarter ones for running a really long HDMI across their home.
>>220625260>5tbThat's cute lil fella, you just getting started?
>>220625443It fits all my yify rips.Problem?
how are they not getting sued? before it made sense since they weren't really charging or likely making a lot of money but now that they are media rights holders are gonna ream them because it's impossible for them not to know that 90% of the media streamed via Plex is pirated.
got mine before they stopped you using 3rd world currencies for about $70 USDI still just use jellyfin though, plexamp and most of the plex features are abandonware at this point
>>220625557this. lot of retards in for a rude awakening when they pay $750 and they block local media streaming next year and turn it in to Tubi 2
>>220620073You could, like, not pay it and use Plex like a sane non-paying person
I just never updated the Plex app on my Google TV and I can still stream from my remote seedbox for free no pass. Just side load an old apk to your TV and it'll probably work.
>>220624670TVs have media streaming build in nowadays
>>220620073This is them being desperate for investors by showing them there is interest in the product by hoping a bunch of people get in at the already inflated price from last year. Clearly not enough people bought the pass last year for $100 before the increase to make up for whatever they need so they pull this stunt again but will probably back down in a few days and say the increase will only be to $350
>>220620073speedrun milking paypigs before paying for software completely dies.
I have lifetime already but I bet they pull some shit on the older purchasers of it
>>220626152yes, TVs can stream stuff directly from your PC these days, but you aren't getting the uniformed organization and sorting of files in a modern UI, metadata gathering, and start / stop functionality across devices with that approach.
>>220620073Just get emby. Only fags and troons use plex.
>>220621916I switched over to that after Plex filled up my HDD with gobs of metadata bullshit and refused to store it on anything but my smallest drive.It actually took less time to set up than Plex though isn't as nice, but I don't need it to have all the bells and whistles so long as it streams to my living room reliably.
jellyfin on my Google tv keeps forgetting the address to my seedbox and I have to type it in manually like every third time I open jellyfin. please advise
>>220626455lmao you're poor>n-no you're a tran-YOU ARE POOR. GET A JOB.
>>220626605>Chatgpt-that-to-me.com
>>220620345this jellyfin mogs.
>>220620073This will probably get worse, but I started using Plex earlier this year and the free plan almost seems too good to be true. I can stream from my server to my TV or my phone even if I'm off my LAN and it works. It seems like the only thing paid plans give you is the ability to download stuff on other devices, which I mostly don't need. But again what these tech companies almost always do is give an amazing deal for a few years and then start jacking up rates on you once they've built a customer base, I will not be at all surprised if you start to have to pay for steaming to other devices from your server. Netflix used to be like $8 a month and now it's $20+ and their library got shittier. It'll happen to Plex too eventually
>>220627029nevermind I just checked and they already want to charge you for streaming to off-LAN devices. I could have sworn it wasn't that way just a month or two ago but I mostly use it to stream to my TV in my home
>>220620073I literally stream content from my laptop on my TV via SMB and it works flawlessly. I don't need no fancy UI to catalog my content
>>220620073>Paying to play content you pirateWhy would anyone do this?
>muh plex serverPoorfag virgin shit.>hold on babe, let me fire up my plex server and tyou can browse the MCU movies I torrented
>>220624740NTA, but jellyfin UI is shitI don't even see the point of using tools like Plex & Jellyfin
>>220625557Because they don't actually share the pirated content, its all user content.
>>220626677>not paying the original content owners
>>220627163more like >we're subscribed to like 8 different streaming services>the movie we want to watch isn't on any of them, but we can rent it from Amazon>hold on babe, let me torrent it to my Plex server, should be ready in like 5-10 minutes, start popping the popcornit's not that I can't afford it I just refuse to play into their greed
>>220627330this anon fucks
>>220627221Their servers facilitate it in some cases, rights holders absolutely have a case.
Uhm... you can just host a directory and browse that. I've been doing that for two decades.
reminder that every plex thread is just them shilling their shitty service to you, how retarded you have to be to pay for that shit, I refuse to belive any normal /tv/ anon is using it
>>220620073That’s actually eye watering. I think I paid 50 bucks for it 4 years ago on black Friday. What’s the sale price? Use the hell out of mine with NAS server and the kids like to download stuff on their tablet when going on road trips
>>220625260My nas has 48 tb of storage (36 usable and 12 as part of raid). I can stream it anywhere there is an internet connection.
>plexfags be like AAAAHHHH I NEED TO WATCH THIS MOVIE ON 3 DIFFERENT TVS AND 10 DIFFERENT DEVICES OR ELSE I'LL GO INSANE!!!!Just use your fucking TV you mongs
>>220627330>hold on babe, let me torrent it to my Plex server, should be ready in like 5-10 minutesThis is the part where her pussy dries up and she suddenly remembers she has to wake up early in the morning.
>>220629262try less than 30 seconds with even the most basic private tracker and seedbox
>>220629371Sure kid.
>>220620073Oy Vey
>>220628665i had axx before you were born and this site existed, suck a dick faggot
Main reason I have mine is for friends and family. I bought the Plex pass for 50 bucks on black Friday. Are they really going to start charging for people to watch shit on the server I'm running?
>2026>Still using PlexFuck Plex. Their app is slow and shitty and poorly designed. All I used it for is streaming my library on HDDs, and Jellyfin does that for me just fine. Never going back to Plex.
>>220624539>he thinks any part of the service will remain freeDelusional. They're clearly trying to use the money from those that host their own content to fund their attempted expansion into streaming content from plex owned libraries and it is not working. Their primary user base is only interested in hosting their own servers and these customers don't want to pay a subscription fee to watch their own stuff. They will just switch to other options. Meanwhile the invested money is not bringing in enough subscribers to the plex owned content. They will likely paywall all functionality in the mear future, and eventually go under when the remaining user base leaves.
>>220629589Jellyfin is still mogged by Plex.
>>220629613which is fine, anon. As long as it's free I'll continue to use it as explained earlier. It's easy enough to adapt when the time calls for it. Right now it's free and explaining the current usefulness is the only intent behind the previous posts in the chain. I also didn't say it was going to be free indefinitely or imply otherwise.
>>220621916what are you talking about. It's an app, all I need it to do is allow me to access my library remotely, that's it. Takes a few minutes to set up.Only difficulty I had was setting it up on my smart tvs, had to enable developer mode, type in the IP of my laptop and then ran this to set them uphttps://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installerez, did it on all my tvs and it completely replaced Plex. Never using Plex's shitty slow app ever again. As far as how it looks, I don't give a shit looks fine to me, all my shows and movies are there, that's all I need.
>>220627163Im married and just leave my old computer on all day. I have complete data duplication incase something happens to it. My wife used to be subscribed to like 4 different streaming services, and now it's none. It's cheaper to just leave my PC on. It also gives me absolute control o er the content my kid had available to watch.
>>220629613plex is fine and will be purchased by like a Roku eventually, overreacting massively. Its still valuable at 250 a year, 750 is bullshit and FOMO sales tactics. Plex is a great tool with or without paying for it.
>>220620345>>220621916hdmi lead is like 10 bucks.zero setup.fuck plex jellyfin and every single tv brand all these fucking retard shits that dont just support fucking proper simple existing upnp dlna protocols where you have a source a sink and a controller and it all just fucking works without endless fucking aids bullshit smart tv retardism.fuck you get an hdmi cable and play whatever the fuck you want from a 'headless' htpc via ssh. mpv drm output to hardware your welcome.
>>220629627in what ways. I only ever used Plex to stream my tv shows and movies. That's all, Jellyfin does that just fine, I don't care for any of the other bloat on Plex that I never used. Also, like I said their apps on the smart tvs I used Plex on were slow and trash, I hated using plex, half the time I had to restart the app just to get shit to stop freezing. Meanwhile Jellyfin has been smooth and without a single issue for me so far in almost a year using it.
Anyone who uses this shit should be shot before being thrown out of an airplane
>>220629731why would you even respond to a brown poster? I am richer then every single person in ITT and host a 200TB, sucks to have missed the dirt cheap storage array era
>>220629151My dad uses my sever too, he lives over 500 miles away. He had cable previously which is an absolute scam.
>>220629756https://plezy.app/
>>2206297644k untouched remux and plex or your nigger tier brained netflix, amazon and itunes bitrate, kek. Imagine being a subscriber nigger. Its insane how well glowniggers molded zoomers into being pay pigs, boomers and zoomers, two peas in a pod, botth cant use a PC and neither is getting pussy
>>220629770I only have 60TB, and currently only have 30TB of it populated. Do you just download tons of porn?
>>220629589> Their app is slow and shitty and poorly designed.Jellyfin fags when trying to stream HDR 4k BD rips on LG tv app
>>220629849maybe 30tb of porn. I only archive remuxes, full BDs. Few thousand films, average 50GB, got a good amount left over. Stashapp and a porn storage is a must these days
>>220629852I don't download 4k files, waste of space and I don't notice the difference, and I'm already running 200+ tv shows and 1000+ movies on 2 16 TB hdds and already running low on storage space, if I used 4k shit I'd have no space at all. 1080p x265 master race, I don't need anything more
>>220629921>waste of spacehow far are you sittting and what tv? I think most people are poor and have those TCL, Roku Tvs right. If you ever get some money, get an LG OLED and then shut your fucking mouth about this topic
>>220629948That would only matter if you're watching something that is actually visually stunning, which most movies and shows aren't at all anymore. Most of the shows I watch aren't even in 16:9 because I watch a lot of older stuff.
>>220629948I have an 77in 4k samsung OLED. I still only download 1080 copies. The 4k aren't a significant increase in quality. Not enough to justify the massive increase in storage space and bandwidth.
>>220630028>I have an 77in 4k samsung OLEDno. no you don't.
>>220630023i agree with you 100% bud, but man, watch films like Psycho and 2001, incredible how well a 4k from that era looks>>220630028thats fair, a properly done 1080p encode with proper bitrate will really go to toe with a 4k web-dl. Im big on HDR and nerd out to get FEL, but if getting into all the devices to make it work not your cup of tea, you get 95% of my viewing experience with none of the headache. Def a niche hobby getting 4k HDR to play properly
>>220630042i dropped 6k on a 83 inc
>>220629852>stream HDR 4k BD rips on LG tv appWorks for me 2bh
>>220630111not really, the little symbol appearing is basically lying to you. Theres only a handful of ways to view HDR, 100% playback HDR correctly. That is, unless you think HDR10 is acceptable, which it isntThis thread proves how fucking stupid and genius Dolby is for gatekeeping dolby vision so hard. Only chinese android boxes can deliver FEL
>>220630042Yes, yes I do. I get paid 4k biweekly and that's the money I get after tax and the 22k 401k contribution I make annually. It's just shy of 200k a year salary. My house is completely paid off so I only have food, utilities and taxes to pay. I am left with like 70% of my post tax income after living expenses. I invest nearly all of it, but the television wasn't even a single paycheck. Sorry you're poor.
>>220630162I dunno man. I watch a ripped hdr movie on my lg tv and it looks the same with hdr on as it does on my bluray player.
>>220629754>spend $10 on an hdmi cable to watch from one device>versus spending $0 on jellyfin to watch on every screen you haveYou sound retarded
>>220630211yeah listen im being such a nitpicker here its really only for dorks. But what happens is when they encode, theyll take a DV layer with HDR10 fallback. If you had a LG OLED next to a standard 4k tv, you would not even hesitate to which was best. But imo, any HDR layer will enhance and 1080 UHDs are becoming more popular especially as GPU use grows. But heres the thing, if the UHD is 50GB, why grab a 28GB encode and not the disc?
>>220630251anon that person isnt aware you can stream lossless video and audio, please forgive him
>>220620345Your time, so the actual value depends on who you ask.>b-b-b-b-but-t..................I already got my Plex lifetime for pennies years ago so don't @(You) me, not falling for your gaslighting freetrannies,
You guys pay for this? I always thought this was a free program people used to stream pirated movies onto their tv.
>>220630259Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
>>220630327If you want to stream off your local internet network or share your server with others you have to pay.
>>220629921>WWELLL YYYY DOON T NEEEDD DAATT AN NY WAYYCopeFOSS fags again choke on stage.Thing like this is why Plex and paid alternatives always win out again and again.Because the>Well it is free and FOSSpeople always fall back on>AAT LEAST IT DONT USE YR DATACan it be that and good at the same time, dickheads.The 4k HDR issue should have been fixed years ago. But it is still here. Because dev lazyness and reliance on saying>At least we are not them
>>220630330yeah videophile stuff is affordable, its the one time TV that really stings. The ones you gotta pray for are the audiophiles, thatll set you back 10s of thousands. But i will say, as the craft of CPU encoding fades and GPU encoding prevails, file sizes will bloat as well. Makes for a curious case of wether WEB-DL sources will just become standard for everyone.
>copy and paste movie from computer to usb stick>wait 10 mins max>plug the usb in the TV>play movieAre you guys fucking retarded?
>>220629589>their app is slow>streams from HDD
>>220621916came here to say this
>>220630794That's not what I was talking about, the actual menus and going through them is slow. Jellyfin is much faster and yes it's streaming from my HDD. Sorry, I'm an oldfag that actually has downloaded / pirated content for decades, I'm not some zoomer streamcuck.
>>220631333are you implying that the opposite of a retard that uses HDDs is a zoomer streamcuck?
Can paypigs even vpn into their own home network without paying companies?
>>220631349How much content do you have? I have like 40TB, you expect me to store that on a bunch of NVMe or SSDs? Even storing this stuff on HDDs it's expensive, 2 16 TB and 2 10TB that aren't completely full yet + backups for each, that's 8 HDDs I paid over $1000 for just the drives a few years ago when I upgraded as my collection has grown. If it was SSD it would cost me like at least 5-6x that at minimum and that's without any backup.
>>220630759sounds like it would be annoying to do every time especially if there's something in particular you want to watch and already have. hdmi laptopfags are more civilized than that even
>>220631333I'm also old. I just play everything with vlc on tv/projector from smb share. On the road I just stream directly from torrents. Can't believe that plex thing got so popular and that people are willing to actually pay for it.
>>220631522>my collection has growncollection of what? my whole life fits on 2tb hdd.
>>220631563I do it because I like the native tv player the best, supports HDR/DV without me having to configure anything or deal with headaches.It is only 10 mins, go pee or prepare some snacks nigga.You need days to set up plex/jellyfin and it will never feel "right", you will still be permanently tinkering it.
>>220624539It's literally free, if you want to have external ips they make you pay for premium but only third worlders do that shit
>>220632047took a few minutes a few years ago and haven't bothered with any of the settings since, feels right to me too.
>>220629764Why would you shoot a man before throwing him out of an airplane?
>>220630165nice fanfic
>>220629770>only have ~45TB and it's almost fulli knew i should have built a 100+TB system
>>220633913That's unfortunate. The same 18TB+ HDDs that were $300 last summer are now listed at $800 - $1200 on newegg.
>Plex.TVI only go on there to siterip some SD kinos occasionallySame with Tubi
>>220633978Lucky I got some 20 TB refurbished drives about 2.5 years ago that are still going strong for about $600 for both. Don't even want to know how much they would cost now, last time I looked it was like $500 for a new 20TB.
>>220631713hundreds of tv shows, thousands of movies. Yeah, I guess I don't really "need" all of it, but I've been hoarding it for over 2 decades now and growing it every year, I don't really re-watch much of it honestly, but the shows I do re-watch get a lot of usage. I don't know, I can't bring myself to delete any of it, it's like all the time and effort over the years I've spent downloading, organizing, storing, renaming, watching everything, sunk cost fallacy I just like having a big collection. It's fun to show people too when I do I guess, I just never want to be a paypig streamcuck
>>220634860anon, were just data hoarders, and we have been on the correct side of history since the bbs forums
>>220627118Who is the audience for plex at this point? I thought anyone interested enough to do this would also be capable of having a personal vpn
Using real debrid is cheaper than all of this shit.
