Tobias HellgrenDid you know? One of the best ways to support your favorite artists is still by purchasing their albums. Even if they received 100% of the royalties from streaming, it would take at least 10,000 streams for an artist to earn the same amount as from a single album sale.When was the last time you listened to anything 10,000 times?<a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/GoPhysical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoPhysical</a> <a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/Emby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emby</a> <a href="https://mastodon.chuggybumba.com/tags/Kodi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kodi</a>

Gene CowanPublic service announcement: if you use the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> app, do NOT update to the new version. It’s so buggy that it is unusable. Literally. You are warned. And there’s no support or bug reporting mechanism in it, either.

Jiří Fiala Total LandscapingiPad using my iPhone's LTE via tethering. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> connects and plays without any issue, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> doesn't even connect. How is that possible? Isn't easy and reliable connection the point of Plex?

Rick WilliamsI’ve been using <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> for over a decade. For some reason I’ve slept on <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plexamp</a> because I through streaming was all I needed. After hearing several people talk favorably about it I decided to throw my old collection in it. What a fantastic app! I feel like I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I love. The DJs and Stations are really fun and well done. It’s just a joy to use. Check it out if you have an old music library lying around.

Jack DethWELCOME to BAD MOVIE CLUB!!In 2025, I’m trying to watch ALL of the ‘amazing’ films from FULL MOON, so I’m choosing three a month from the list. If you want to watch them and discuss them, you can find most of them for free these days on sites like <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/tubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tubi</a> and <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a>.

NielsI just bought a lifetime <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> pass, after trying it for 6 months or so. I only use it for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plexamp</a> to stream <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/flac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flac</a> from my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/synology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#synology</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nas</a> to my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> laptop, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rpi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rpi</a> with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/allo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allo</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/boss2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boss2</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dac</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#android</a> phone. I also created an account for my almost 80-year-old father so he can join my server and library. I came from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/roon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roon</a> which I enjoyed a lot, but due to different reasons I made the switch. Plexamp provides such a seamless experience, I really can't wish for more. Keep up the good work!

Rob AdamsonI’ve seen Mastodon, Pixelfed devs and admins have to repeatedly ask for help with the costs for creating and running things and getting grief when they do so. It’s a particular bugbear of mine, that people can’t undertstand someone, somewhere along the line is forking out money to support what they take for granted and for free! Whoever cracks micropayments for FOSS that are fast, safe and secure will change the Internet for us all. /end <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>

Rob AdamsonIt’s been a journey with them but Plex is an intrinsic part of my set up. The company’s financial model was prob unsustainable especially with the low cost of a Lifetime Pass which I think cost me £79 back in the day. In the last year we saw layoffs and a strategic rethink after some missteps. It was at this time I set up Jellyfin as a just in case option. We have to figure out better ways to support software devs. It costs money to make things. Devs shouldn’t need to beg! /2 <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>

Rob AdamsonI say this as someone who has both <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> set up on my server. I am beyond tired of the overreactions and at times childish bloviating to Plex changing their pricing and free offering this past week. I’ve used Plex for 12 years. It was free to download and install. Allowed me to watch my DVD/Blurays without having to swap out disks. Game changer. I then purchased a Plex Lifetime Pass to help support the software. They struggled at first with 4K but now very solid and reliable. /1

Your Future Ex[FIXED]Has anyone experienced that <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> successfully picks up a properly tagged album (shows up in Home's Recently Added Music section), but it is nowhere to be found at the artist page? I can see it appearing after a scan in the library for a second or two, but it simply disappears when arranged as Artist-Album; it is there in Album-By Title. Tips are welcome 🙂

Petter NaslundMy DeGoogle Journey is going great so far!🚀Moving away from Google and big tech has been both fun and surprisingly easy. Here are some of the recent switches I’ve made:📩 Gmail → Proton Mail 📂 Google Drive → Proton Drive 🌍 Chrome → Vivaldi 🔎 Google Search → Ecosia 🏠 Google Home → Home Assistant 💬 FB Messenger → Signal 🤖 ChatGPT → LeChat (Mistral AI)For streaming, I’m exploring ArteTV alongside other free Scandinavian services.I’m also looking into Plex as a long-term alternative. Seems like I’ll need a NAS for that—any recommendations?Do you use Plex?

JF :debian: :verbike:<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@WilliamNB" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WilliamNB</a> Anyway, coming back to your initial point (that is a real one)<a href="https://rouge.eu.org/tags/Komoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Komoot</a> was not the only company raising prices. <a href="https://rouge.eu.org/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> did the same and there is some interesting stats about how people contribute to projects and services in that newsletter <a href="https://selfh.st/newsletter/2025-03-21/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://selfh.st/newsletter/2025-03-21/</a>

MikaDude, what the fuck is <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Plex" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> up to now? - An increase in price for their monthly Plex Pass: doesn't matter to me, why would I pay for it in the first place, esp considering how people who do often complain that the things they're paying for don't always work. - Removal of activation fee of their <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/iOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iOS</a> and <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Android" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> apps on mobile (previously, already free elsewhere): good, reduces that slight friction for users from trying to using Plex. - Remote playback on your own fuckin' server is no longer an option, without either a Plex Pass subscription or a (newly released) Remote Watch subscription: this... is stupid af. All in all, we've been pampered with Plex and its ease of use and beautiful UI for too long, it's about time we move (and improve) <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> alternatives like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Jellyfin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> instead. 🔗 <a href="https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates</a>
