    I’m less fussed about a data breach that might require a password change than I am that 3rd parties have access to internal databases. Play history and library contents could be a lot of trouble for folks if that data is ever breached (assuming it is even kept by PleX which I hope it isn’t).

    I really don’t understand all the hate. It’s like this weird echo chamber where everybody’s like fuck it I’m gone! Like you’re all just waiting for a fucking reason to switch if you want to switch switch. Personally for people like me without the time or inclination Plex is a fucking godsend. So I have to change my password big deal.

    When this happens, I always forget to change the password through the server/localhost URL. Always gets confusing when I don’t.

    It’s unfurtunate that Jellifin or Emby is not available on as much smart TV platforms as Plex. I tried Emby years ago and it was close to Plex ease of use, but it was still fairly new and not quite there and hopefully a lot better now.

      What are you using in its place?

      Jellyfin isn’t any better once you share off your own network.
