Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Why would anyone use Plex over jellyfin anyway? The writing was on the wall years ago.

Skip intro on Apple TV not working on Jellyfin is probably the #1 reason I do not use it.

When tvOS 26.2 comes out I will tentatively test Jellyfin + Infuse, but until then, Jellyfin is a non-starter for me.

But I use Emby over Plex so still not using Plex.
