Im very curious about what was the actual violation
It's about the server access sellers, but to block a whole major VPS instead of accounts that commit the violation is kinda absurd.
It looks like another step towards further restricting what users can do with their servers, local or virtual.
Yeah I got sick of feeling like it wasn't my plex server even though I have plex lifetime pass. Have stopped using it in favour of jellyfin
I tried out Plex when I was first setting up my media server and having to do a bunch of stuff through Plex servers was one of the main reasons I jumped ship immediately. The hardware is in my house, the files are in my house, I never want it to leave my house, I kept thinking why the hell do I need to mess around with Plex accounts and online connections??
HEY WANNA WATCH LIVE TV?
No thanks I have my offline files
LIVE TV LET'S GOOOOO
There's nothing good to watch these days. I'll just stick with the collection of old TV shows I've got stashed on my server.
I stopped using it for about 5 years because there was this truly cursed period where it wouldn't remember manual connections if you weren't logged in and wouldn't work without an active internet connection if you were logged in. Even after they fixed both of those there was still a 50/50 shot it would treat logged-in local devices as remote devices and stream out via your internet connection and then back in to the client device. In fact I still don't log my devices in if I don't have to.
You know it's kind of funny and damn near every piece of surprise him software is getting into controversies like this but you've never heard of a free and open source software ever having these problems
No they just have the problem of someone wanting to ad something and then forking it. And then that fork getting unmaintained. Or the main project loosing steam and dropping off also. Seems to be happing to jellyfin, they are stuck at just good enough.
