Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company | TorrentFreak (torrentfreak.com)

In an email to customers who run Plex servers at the large German hosting company Hetzner, Plex said that access will be blocked next month. It’s not clear if Hetzner is the only hosting company this applies to, but several customers confirmed that they received the same email.

Has anyone here on Lemmy got this notice? Self-hosting is still in the green, but with this precedent who knows what Plex could do later.

Dump Plex, they already a lot less free than should be tolerated by self hosters.

Yeah, Jellyfin is really great. I’m sure there are things that Plex does better, but Jellyfin does everything I’ve asked it to.

When Jellyfin has Plexamp, I might consider it

I'm not sure how they compare as I am not a music person, but there are a few apps that function as a Jellyfin music player.
