I suppose I understand the reasons people prefer Jellyfin. But on the small chance of liking a commercial product, Plex is truly dead simple for my parents. They have an AppleTV. They signed up. I share it with them via their registered email address. And they’re in. It was as simple a process as I could hope for.

That being said, do I like everything they’re pushing for? No. But they at least allow users to opt out.

I understand the sentiments here, truly. I just don’t have a compelling reason to change since it does what I want, is simple to set up and use, simple to share, and gets refined all the time.

This is heresy, but not all commercial software is the devil. I suspect RMS would hate me for this.

It'll get worse and worse until you wish you left sooner. Hang in there. They'll cross your line eventually

Oh, I hope not. Still, at best let's hope it happens really slowly.
