I already use vivaldi, but i really wish this was possible too.

You should not trust any company to stand up against court orders.

I like when companies openly show what data they do provide, all of the good vpns do.

So then they must also include it on the phones they issue, since its pretty much useless unless linked to a phone.

Sunk cost is more then just money… Every reply here is some variation of “i would switch but i have all my ratings and users settings in plex already and dont know how to migrate”

Which i can understand paying because you dont have time, i just also think its foolish to pay for a service like plex when the main use case is piracy, something a company like plex clearly can not continue to support legally forever.

Eventually the big media corps will decide they need to end all library sharing options and plex will not be able to win that fight.

Its about $60 more then ive ever paid for any software, and its literally a tool for piracy, why would i pay a company that clearly want to pivot to being a second rate netflix with ads, when i can get what i need for free and not support a shitty tech company.

It was the same thing with realdebrid, its just foolish to think these companies arent going to start cracking down on any kind of “sharing” features until eventually they get removed due to pressure from the anti piracy goons.

If you got your money worth thats great but id rather direct my money to projects that arent trying to profit off pirates until they can pivot to being a legit service and wall out what actually made them good in the first place.

Its clear at this point plex is getting worse and jellfin is getting better. Almost all the replies sayibg they still use plex have a “BUT” in them about wanting to switch and being stuck because they dont know how to transfer this or that (ratings, view counts, etc), which im going to look more into later to see if i can help with.

Or sunk cost fallacy, but whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software i guess. I dont think its a black and White one size fits all thing, i just have seen this patter before with other software, and it was already happening with plex before the price increase.

PLEX is not FOSS, plex is a proprietary fork of XBMC.

My point is that in 5 years a lot of these plex users will wish they made the switch to jellyfin sooner.

All the folks saying “just buy the lifetime pass” gonna be in for a big disappointment in about 5 years

If that, depending on the type of file sometimes its 10mb

If you are unable to afford the fee for a state id then you would be considered indigent and would be able to get some kind of waver for the fee.

That website is a time(cube)less masterpiece!

Just in case youd like a second opinion i think its closer to 7% so you might want to start making arrangements in case we need to take the leg. I know a good surgeon if you want to avoid the wait at the ER.

Sounds like you are conflating symlinks with hardlinks. Arrs have an option to do hard links.

Sorry, i meant AV1 video with AAC audio.

To get the maximum compression out of video you should use a video codec like av1 or hevc. WinRAR wont compress video well at all and making it an ISO is also pointless.

I would suggest checking out handbrake for a good user friendly video compression tool.

For lossless compression, things other then video/audio, you should movr to 7zip over winRAR.

Well whatever it is i convert all my downloads these days to be AV1 with AAC video because i prefer open standards.

Ive never cared enough about spatial audio outside of video games so i just convert everything to AAC with tdarr.

Money and lack of scientific reasearch or surgical knowledge are i think your primary limiting factors.
