That’s completely different. Every internet connected service has risks, but having known vulnerabilities that you just refuse to fix is different to someone figuring out a complex exploit.

The irony of not wanting to use Plex and saying to use Tailscale to let you use jellyfin is just too good.

Get Bazarr so you never have to worry about subtitle searching again.

Yeah this temperature is nothing. Regularly gets over 40 degrees Celsius where I am, and all of my home servers have run 24/7 through it without issue, not in air conditioning.

30.8 to 31.5……that’s nothing at all. What am I missing here?

Fantastic product, works in homeassistant.

Unfortunately with RAID you need to basically wipe and start again to add more drives to the array.

Do you mean the raspberry pi is going to have all the storage attached to it, with the optiplex just running Plex/JellyFin/Emby?

How many devices will you be streaming to, and what are they? Will you need to transcode any media to play it on other devices?

They’re talking about the Jellyfin crew.

Someone else set up your Plex server?

Cool, so you can finally admit you set Plex up wrong. Good job.

You set it up in the wrong way if you want to stream locally on your network.

It’s ok to admit that you made a mistake and it’s not plex’s fault. Just take some responsibility for your actions.

You’re not lying, you’re just not good at networking and/or setting up Plex.

Plex does NOT charge for streaming on your own network. If it is saying that you need to pay it’s because you’ve set your network(s) or Plex up wrong.

You were the one that made the claim that “software doesn’t have huge ongoing costs”, which is what I said is wrong. Lots of software does, as you now agree.

Saying software does not have huge ongoing costs shows you’ve never worked on any huge software system. My works ongoing costs for hosting/scaling/storing data are millions of dollars a year.

What media management and consumption platform did you buy?

And they likely made it because without VC funding they would have gone under, because people that use services like Plex tend to not want to pay to use said services.

If you were having troubles it’s because you did something wrong, though I don’t know how. Plex is literally the easiest and most straightforward media server to set up and get working out of all of them.

OP has set it up wrong so it’s ALL going remote, even when he’s in the same house.

Are you saying that you’re on your home network with your Plex server and it won’t let you play your media without paying? That’s not true if so. You must be outside the network.
