Also tired of endless streaming subscriptions? Take back control and self-host!

Are you tired of shelling out money for multiple streaming subscriptions every month? It seems like every media company now has its own platform

@stux great list.
I see you mentioned a premium for Emby, but not for Plex. I find Plex very misleading and intransparent about what is actually free and what is part of a paid tier. It also requires signing up with Plex to use your self-hosted instance, which I personally dislike, but that's beside the point.
Maybe it's worth to add a hint to your list for Plex premium features as well. 🙂

@mforester Good catch!

I have never used Plex so i wasn't sure but ill update it ❤️

@stux I used it once for a total of ten minutes or so. I found signing up elsewhere to run software that I'm hosting on my own hardware very alienating. 😅

@Revertron Yess! If you have a copy at home it should be okay right? :ed_grin:

@stux I don't think Emby is open source any more as suggested on your link, there's no recent updates on their GitHub, I hear they went closer to stop people bypassing the paywall for premium. Still looks a great option, and I'm nit-picking, but wanted to be sure your page was as correct as possible☺️

Suiseiseki,

@wiredfire Emby was always proprietary and was never even completely source-available.

@Suiseiseki isn't Jellyfin a fork from Emby? Wouldn't there need to have been a complete source available at some point for that? Genuinely interested, no snark intended (but also very tired today so ability to convey that might be impaired.. 😅)

@stux@mstdn.social avatar

@wiredfire @Suiseiseki I think it's vice versa :blobcatgiggle: (not sure though)

wiredfire,
@wiredfire@mstdn.social avatar

@stux @Suiseiseki ah! Well that could make a lot more sense!
