Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year.

Well, that's Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly "still there".
No more.

Yeah, one reason I hate lifetime anything, they'll change the rules and give you the middle finger and they've already got your money so you can't do shit about it, lost cause.
They dont have to renege on anything. Just create a new variant, an let the original stsgnate. 5 years is an eternity in tech, so if an app is not updated in 5 years, it will be pretty useless.

I used Plex before I got tired of it requiring a remote network connection to work in my home network (no remote). I switched to emby a few years ago, and I'm tired of it too: Subtitle is a pain, filtering is a nightmare, integration with sonarr/radarr and configuration is annoying...
I've started developing my own streaming server, playback is working nice through the browser from server to tvlaptop. I'm going to integrate Transmission UI into it, and show/movie management, to get rid of sonnarr/radarr and maybe I'll manage to get rid of jackett too, so tired of this cumbersome stack. I want it all integrated into a single server with a single interface.
That sounds cool. You've got a much higher technical acumen than me.

So they think it's acceptable to charge people to access their own files. Good Luck with that morons.
It is enshittification for sure. At the core it makes sense to not have it free, since dynamic DNS is not free. However it is a very small cost

And on that terrible disappointment, back to piracy.

Eh. There’s like 6 apps that provide free channels like that, with actual good content. Obviously there are commercials, but it’s really not bad.
Oh I'm sure, classic top gear is crazy accessible. There are multiple hours long compilations on YouTube of some of the best crazy shit they did. I just wanted to parrot Clarkson.

Why not try emby it works fine no?
I'll take a look.

Setting up remote access is the same for Plex and Jellyfin so I'm confused. All you need is to forward port 8096 or use a reverse proxy like nginx if you want a domain.
I have plex.domain.com and jellyfin.domain.com and it was the exact same process for both.
None of that is needed if the server app for plex works as intended.

You have to port forward Plex in some fashion for it to work properly. If you don't you are limited to 1 Mbps streams on their relay. That is lower bitrate than YouTube at 480p.
If your router has UPnP then the port fowarding is automatic on both Jellyfin and Plex. It's the exact same setup for both.
