I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.
They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.
I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.
Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

Understandable, then I guess you can still try to reverse proxy it with an unknown route like
myserver.com/ld5S7fR1Z4D7ZlR/which isn't ideal but might still be a way. Not sure if that's really secure though, but at least it should prevent scrapingIP whitelisting might also be a thing, but it's a pain to setup and the VPN solution might be easier ๐
Let's hope they address those issues.
