Media streamer Plex has raised new capital. The company, which began as a media organization startup, has morphed over the years to become a one-stop shop
I hope this doesn’t mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?
I’m mostly in the same boat. So far anything I didn’t like could be easily turned off. I unpinned the Plex TV and movies so it never shows up. I don’t mind discover because it means it returns results for things I don’t have, letting me watchlist it so overseerr can request it without me needing to leave Plex.
I have a jellyfin container running in the same docker compose yml with the exact same media folders mounted to it with quicksync passed through to it in addition to Plex, reverse proxy already set up so switching is as easy as opening a different URL or app since it’s already up and running.
At the moment all is fine. I’m just going to ride with it until I have to stop and change to something else.
